The Porsche Museum is an automotive museum in the Zuffenhausen district of Stuttgart, Germany on the site of carmaker Porsche.
The new Porsche museum stands on a conspicuous junction just outside
Porsche Headquarters in Zuffenhausen. The display area covers 5600
square meters featuring around 80 exhibits, many rare cars and a
variety of historical models.
The museum was designed by the architects Delugan Meissl. The
exhibition spaces were designed by HG Merz who was also involved in
the building of the award winning Mercedes-Benz Museum.
The original Porsche museum opened in 1976 in a side-road near the
Porsche factory. It was a relatively small works museum with little
parking space and it was only big enough to hold around 20 exhibits
(in rotation).
After the new Mercedes-Benz Museum opened in the east of Stuttgart in
2006, Porsche went ahead with plans to upgrade and extend its museum
in the northern district of Zuffenhausen next to the company
headquarters. Originally costs were set at 60 million euros but days
before the official opening ceremony on 29 January 2009, it was
confirmed that the actual costs hit 100 million euros. (Source:

Das Porsche-Museum ist ein Automuseum. Das Werksmuseum der Dr. Ing.
h.c. F. Porsche AG befindet sich am Porscheplatz in Stuttgart im
Stadtteil Zuffenhausen. Am 31. Januar 2009 wurde der Museumsneubau für
das Publikum eröffnet. Die architektonische Gestaltung stammt vom
Wiener Architektenbüro Delugan Meissl Associated Architects. Das
Konzept für den musealen Ausbau wurde vom Stuttgarter Büro hg merz
architekten museumsgestalter entwickelt, das bereits für das
Mercedes-Benz-Museum verantwortlich war.
Das alte Porsche-Museum wurde 1976 für die Allgemeinheit geöffnet. Es
war auf dem Werksgelände in einer ehemaligen Motorenfertigungshalle
angesiedelt und wies eine Fläche von 620 Quadratmeter auf. Zwischen
70.000 und 80.000 Besucher besichtigten jährlich die etwa 20 ständig
wechselnden Exponate. Der Eintritt war frei.
Nachdem ein zunächst diskutiertes Museumsprojekt zusammen mit
Mercedes-Benz auf dem ehemaligen Messegelände Killesberg nicht
zustande kam, begann Porsche mit den Planungen für ein neues Museum am
Hauptsitz in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Im Oktober 2005 begann der Bau
des Museums. Die Baukosten für das neue Museum haben sich auf zirka
100 Millionen Euro verdoppelt.
Die Ausstellungsfläche beträgt ca. 5.600 Quadratmeter auf der 80
Fahrzeuge und 200 Kleinexponate ausgestellt sind.
Bis Juni 2011 wurden 1 Million Besucher des Museums gezählt und es
wurden bis dato 5100 Führungen durchgeführt. Knapp 35% der Besucher
sind Gäste aus dem Ausland.
