Porsche museum receives its first exhibits
Saturday, November 8th, 2008
By the end of the week, the relocation of some 80 exhibits to the new Porsche museum in Stuttgart will be completed. The automaker says that construction of the new museum at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart is making good progress- and that the first 12 exhibits are being installed. These include a 356 Cabriolet, an original ’11′ and the first Porsche 924 prototype.
The museum features fully restored vehicles as exhibits- with as many as 80 machines in a continuous rotation.
The vehicles on display include modern supercars, vintage race-cars, classics, F1 cars and everything in between.
As the exhibits change frequently, Porsche encourages the public to check it out on a regular basis to see the latest they have to offer.
“In the last few weeks, we have comprehensively restored all the vehicles and polished them up for their use in the museum,” explains Klaus Bischof, head of the ‘Rolling Museum’. The vehicles are stored in a warehouse off-site until they’re shipped to the museum.
Porsche says that small exhibits and cabinets have been set up to complement the vehicles, and that the job of lighting the exhibits is next on the ‘to-do’ list.
