Discounted entry to the Mercedes-Benz Museum for Porsche Museum ticket holders

As an automotive city of distinction, Stuttgart is also home to two of the most spectacular car museums. Given that a visit to both museums is a highly attractive proposition, the #porschemuseum and the #mercedesbenzmuseum are launching a new offer: from now until the end of the year, visitors presenting an entrance ticket to one of the museums will get 25 percent off the regular entry price at the other museum.

Stuttgart. The #porschemuseum and the #mercedesbenzmuseum will be swapping two of their classics in August: a #mercedesbenz W 111 230 S from 1966 will be on display in front of the #porschemuseum in Zuffenhausen (opened in 2009) while the #mercedesbenzmuseum in Bad Cannstatt (opened in 2006) will host a #porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 from 1975. The two "ambassador" cars are being swapped to promote a visit to both museums, for which there will be a special offer running from now until 30 December 2016: visitors to the #mercedesbenzmuseum who present their entrance ticket to the #porschemuseum will receive a 25 percent discount on the regular ticket price of €8 (making €6) or on the concessionary price of €4 (making €3). The same principle applies at the #porschemuseum.

"The two museums complement each other perfectly as visitors can experience the history of the two brands like nowhere else. Giving car enthusiasts from all over the world this added value was just a matter of time. This collaboration also emphasises the good neighbourly relations between the Mercedes-Benz-Museum and us, the #porsche Museum", says Achim Stejskal, Head of the #porschemuseum and Historic PR.

"Stuttgart has not one but two great car museums. It's unique and a real stroke of luck. Many visitors tell us that the museums are the only reason they travel to Stuttgart. We are honouring this with a joint campaign," adds Christian Boucke, Head of #mercedesbenz Classic and Customer Centre.

The #porschemuseum, located at the heart of the company's headquarters in Zuffenhausen, has been presenting the automotive history and fascination of #porsche in inimitable style since 2009. More than three million people have visited the exhibition comprising around 90 vehicles since the museum opened seven years ago. The exhibits are changed regularly, which helps give the exhibition a dynamic feel: almost all of the vehicles are drivable and are used as a "mobile museum" at historic racing events and presentations worldwide. Visitors can therefore also experience live how the #porschemuseum workshop restores classic cars and prepares them for use. Furthermore, the museum introduced a twelve-metre-long touchwall in early 2016, inviting visitors to take a virtual trip in time through the company's history. Plus, at the end of the tour, the "Porsche in the Mix" sound installation offers visitors a dynamic, audio-visual experience by enabling them to compose their own piece of music based on seven #porsche models. The #porschemuseum is open daily from Tuesday to Sunday, 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. For more information, visit www.porsche.de/museum.

The #mercedesbenzmuseum brings the #mercedesbenz legend to life – and with it the history of individual mobility. The multi-award-winning building designed by the Dutch architecture firm UN Studio Ben van Berkel has been home to some 160 vehicles and more than 1500 other exhibits for the past ten years. The architecture and the exhibition concept complement each other right down to the last detail: on nine levels, paths wind in the shape of a double helix along a time axis stretching from the invention of the motor car by Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler in 1886 to the present day. The #mercedesbenzmuseum is celebrating its tenth anniversary throughout this year by staging a number of events as well as a special E-Class "Masterpieces" exhibition.
