Wow! Thanks a lot for sharing your thought on this one. Now I really want to go and see it myself!

Or – let’s say – Porsche museum looks better on snaps (because it is so graphic-like and bla-bla-bla…), but Mercedes museum is much cooler in reality (I’ve been to them both and on the same day, so the impressions were fresh to compare). In Porsche museum there is very unprofessionally solved exposition and lighting (lighting makes very tired – it is cold and it is even everywhere, no accents, nothing), there’s just chaos everywhere, no concept, no chronology, just pure shapes, shapes, shapes, sucked out of finger and having no relation to the topic.

Mercedes museum is a really thought through space. It’s like one big story, it’s like reading a book – when one walks through it. And the space is so interesting and so unpredictably developing from exposition to exposition.

And another paradox – Mercedes museum looks not that big from outside, but interior looks HUGE. And Porsche in the contrary – looks huge outside, but is percepted as very tight space inside.

ALL snaps now are from Mercedes museum – I have been there myself.

Really great building and great interior by the way. Porsche museum is just a funny tryout in comparison to this.

For those who saw the post earlier today… Thanks for sharing my BIG mistake! I mixed some photos from the Porsche Museum into the Mercedes Benz Museum. I have changed them, but I still doubt from the one with the horse…

It seems you mixed a bit of the Porsche Museum into the Mercedes Museum.
