The 2nd day of our stay in Stuttgart, our group visited the Mercedes-Benz museum in the afternoon. The architecture of this museum represents the Mercedes brand inside view, the building is made of aluminium and glass.

Opened in 2006, the museum of 16000m² exposes 160 cars in big rooms. It is presented as a spiral.

There are all types of cars, from the first creation of Mercedes through cars service, transportation, luxury ... to race cars.
