Collection rooms
The integration of new media and systems of information and communication allows for a visit which is tuned in on each visitor’s individual interests in information. An acoustic guiding system called audio guide gives ideal assistance to visitors.
The entire Mercedes Legend comes to life in seven chronologically ordered arrangements of exhibits. Here, visitors meet the
vehicles representative for special eras of automotive development, from the beginning of automotive history and the birth of
the Mercedes brand to fascinating models from recent past and present. Each vehicle shown is embedded in its contemporary
context presented by additional exhibits, documents, photos, or pictures from its days. The level of “Races & Records” ends the tour through the Legend area and impressively shows the fascination of motorsport. Here, the exhibits are presented
on an awe-inspiring steep-bank curve which runs through all of this floor.
Parallel to the Legend rooms in which exhibits are arranged scenically under artificial light, the bright Collection rooms show their exhibits in daylight. Here, the exhibits are not arranged in their chronological context but in a topical one. Thus, the Gallery of Voyagers shows vehicles from all epochs which made voyages both big and small safe and convenient.
The Gallery of Helpers demonstrates the importance of motor vehicles in rescuing, in fire fighting, or in waste disposal. The
Gallery of Celebrities presents the automobiles of prominent contemporaries. In all, five Collection rooms show interesting
exhibits.
Visitors are welcome to arrange their tours through this exhibition on 16,500 square meters (close to 20,000 square yards)
according entirely to their own interests. Of course, when taking the Legend tour, callers can also visit neighboring Collection
rooms, thus experiencing the diversity of the brand with the star even more intensely.
