The Porsche Museum is a place that does not shy away from the big, the bold, and the brash. This OZ-like building withholds 80 of the company's jewels, not to mention a steak house, a visible restoration workshop, the company's archives, and a dealership across the street for those (like us) who decide that they must have their own after seeing the wonderful collection.
Stepping off the escalator at the start of the exhibit is like walking into heaven (for Nick). The very first thing we saw was the silvery aluminum reconstruction of the space age 1938/1939 type 64 Porsche that was the beginning of what is known as the Porsche car company today. It is a brand that is inspired by its client-racer heart and soul; the sports car specialist. It is important to point out that the Museum is far less impressive than the Mercedes Museum across town, but where the Porsche museum lacks the historical importance of the Mercedes Museum it has a dazzling array of automotive pornography. Where the Mercedes Museum is a must for all visitors to Stuttgart the Porsche Museum is a must for any true car enthusiast.
