The archtects say on their website that, "...The Museum’s sophisticated geometry synthesizes structural and programmatic organizations resulting in a new landmark building celebrating a legendary car. The geometric model employed is based on the trefoil organization. The building’s program is distributed over the surfaces which ascend incrementally from ground level, spiraling around a central atrium. The Museum experience begins with visitors traveling up through the atrium to the top floor from where they follow the two main paths that unfold chronologically as they descend through the building. The two main trajectories, one being the car and truck collection and the other consisting of historical displays called the Legend rooms, spiral downwards on the perimeter of the display platforms, intersecting with each other at several points allowing the visitor to change routes."

Using a variety of media and more than 160 vehicles, the descent through the building shows the visitor how world events and changes in social history influenced the developments in public and private transportation.  Guggenheim-like you descend gradually from floor to floor along ramps that are lined with enough intriguing information to fill many days.











The building is also home to cafés, a shop ...



.... and the Mercedes Benz Sales Centre with both current and vintage cars available to view and purchase.
