New Munich Car Museums set a fast pace for Motorists

The BMW museum in Munich will re-open early  summer  2008 with a novel concept that showcases the history of the BMW brand. Vehicles, themes, architecture, design and media design will come together. Visitors will discover enclosed and open exhibition spaces, a configuration of ramps, numerous detailed views and broad vistas, and a series of ever-changing perspectives that will take them by surprise

In December 2008, Porsche fans will get a serious rush from the company's new museum outside of Stuttgart. Not only Porsche sports cars, but also Professor Ferdinand Porsche's early innovations and constructions will be presented in the sophisticated new building. Some cars and models will be presented to the public for the first time. Other attractions include a Classic Workshop, an extended catering service, and a conference area. Until the Grand Opening, the "old" Porsche Museum will still be open.
