The BMW Museum in Munich is a premier destination for car and technology fans. Situated next to BMW Welt and the company headquarters, it traces the development of this iconic automotive brand.
Opened in 1973, the museum's famous "Museum Bowl" building was renovated and expanded in 2008. It now features 5,000 square meters of interactive exhibits.
The collection includes about 125 items, from historic cars and motorcycles to engines and futuristic concepts. Displays cover BMW's journey from the 1920s to its current status, with a strong focus on motorsport heritage and how racing shaped its engineering.
Innovation and design are key themes, showing the evolution of BMW's style and technology. The museum uses multimedia and interactive installations to make complex engineering accessible and engaging for all visitors.
For those who can't visit, BMW Group Classic provides online resources, including a digital museum tour, a detailed model catalog, and access to classic spare parts catalogues.
