What is the name of the Porsche museum in Stuttgart?

The Porsche museum in Stuttgart is called the Porsche Museum.

It is Porsche’s factory museum at Porscheplatz in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, the district where the company’s headquarters and major production facilities are located. The present museum building opened to the public on January 31, 2009, replacing a much smaller works exhibition.

Porsche’s museum traces the company’s history through road cars, racing machines, prototypes and engineering projects. Its collection includes landmark vehicles such as the 356, 911 and 917, and many exhibits are kept operational rather than treated as static displays. This reflects Porsche’s idea of a “rolling museum,” in which cars may continue to appear at events or demonstrations.

A common mix-up is the private Porsche Automuseum in Gmünd, Austria, which focuses on Porsche’s early history there. That museum is distinct from the official Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. The Stuttgart museum also differs from the nearby Mercedes-Benz Museum, another major automotive attraction in the city.
