Stuttgart entdecken

The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is an art museum combining the classicist Alte Staatsgalerie, opened in 1843, with the Neue Staatsgalerie extension designed by James Stirling and opened in 1984. The older building holds European paintings from 1300 to the 19th century; the newer wing shows 20th-century art including works by Picasso and Joseph Beuys.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum traces the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand in a cloverleaf-shaped building designed by UNStudio and opened in 2006, next to the Daimler factory in Stuttgart. A double-helix route leads past more than 160 vehicles, from early motor carriages to modern models, split into chronological and themed rooms.

The Porsche Museum stands on a raised, angular platform next to Porsche's headquarters in the Zuffenhausen district of Stuttgart. Designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects and opened in 2009, it displays more than 80 historic and rare Porsche cars across 5,600 square metres, from early sports cars to racing models.
