Mercedes and Porsche Museums

While Kate was at uni one day I decided to catch the train to Stuttgart to see the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museum, as she wasn't particularly keen. 

The Mercedes-Benz museum is at the enormous factory complex on the south side of town, and the museum is a big spiral inside where you start at the top and work your way down. The displays ranged from the first cars made more than a century ago up to the latest models. Definitely worth a look if you are into cars.

Here's a selection of pictures.

Next it was off to Zuffenhausen in the northern suburbs of Stuttgart to the Porsche museum. The building housing the collection was an amazing windowless structure on stalks with a mirrored bottom. It's not as big as the Mercedes-Benz museum but interesting none the less.
