Surrounded by one of Germany's largest wine-growing regions, Stuttgart beckons cultural junkies with its acclaimed ballet, opera and philharmonic, while auto fans get revved up over the Mercedes Benz Museum. There's more green space than urban sprawl in the festival-friendly city, home to Europe's largest zoo and botanic garden combo, the Wilhelma. The WÂrttembergisches Landesmuseum, in one of the city's oldest structures, traces area history from the Stone Age. Buses or subway provide handy transport.

The Museum celebrates the automobile invented by Carl Benz in 1886: it relates its history and tells its stories, bringing both alive by placing them in the context of technology, day-to-day life, social history and popular culture. More than 160 vehicles of all types are the main protagonists. They range from some of the oldest automobiles ever built to legendary racing cars and futuristic research vehicles. Together with other exhibits, they form the centrepiece of the permanent exhibition covering a total of 16,500 square metres in twelve rooms. This unparalleled world can be discovered on two tours that follow a 'Legend' and 'Collection' narrative.
A mazing museum of automotive history, brilliantly laid out in a logical fashion with very good information relating to world history as you start from the top at the beginning and work your way down to the present at the bottom. Lots to see and some great photo opportunities. Take plenty of time. 2hours at least. The shop at the end of museum is good but a bit pricey. And we were lucky, in front of museum was a classic car meeting that day. Many american muscle cars to see.

if you love cars, this is the museum for you! I wish I could drive every car here. Iconic design Porsche is the most pure sports car ever in the history of cars! old too new, they have everything on display and the design of the museum itself is a testament to Porsche and its purity in the car world.

I can only speak as a musician, and as a person who seeks out musical instrument museums everywhere I go in Europe - this was a delightful museum! I was there practically on my own and felt free to take photos of the wonderful collection they have. If you are a pianist you might enjoy some very interesting pianos they have on display, including a Pleyel which is for two people (one person at each end!!) and some wonderfully decorated show pianos (have posted photos of my favorite, gorgeously decorated Art Nouveau one from 1900). I wonder why it was not more crowded - I encourage musicians and music lovers to visit here.

The museum boasts an extensive collection of Porsche cars, both racing cars and production models, as well as some earlier inventions of Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche. A good audio guide is included in the museum fare. The futuristic building is sight in itself. Very reasonably priced parking available at the museum garage.
