Porsche Museum
A white wedge on three columns, holding a working collection whose cars are driven rather than parked.

The museum opened in 2009 opposite the Zuffenhausen factory, designed by Delugan Meissl as a white monolith carried on three angled columns so the exhibition floor appears to hover above the plaza. Around eighty vehicles are shown from a collection of several hundred, and the museum operates them: most cars are kept in running order, taken to historic events and races through the year, so the displays rotate and a specific car may be away. Exhibits run from the Lohner-Porsche of 1900, an early hybrid with wheel-hub motors, through the 356 and 911 to Le Mans winners.
What you actually see
- The hovering block - an exhibition floor carried on three angled columns.
- The running collection - cars kept operable and driven at events.
- The Lohner-Porsche - a 1900 hybrid with electric wheel-hub motors.
- The racing history - Le Mans and endurance cars across the decades.
When to go
Year-round; the museum closes Mondays. Cars rotate in and out for events, so specific vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Factory tours are booked separately.
Honest expectations
Cars leave for historic events, so the display changes and a particular model may be absent. It closes Mondays. The collection is smaller than the Mercedes museum.
Nearby
The Mercedes-Benz Museum lies southeast; Ludwigsburg is north.
