AUTOBAHN mag nificence while you are there, a sign that this is modern ar - chitecture that works. As if to demonstrate that it is still the giant of the German car industry, and the father of the modern automobile, Mercedes has gone all-in. From a distance, you see a large silver mound. Get closer to the 35,000 square meter building and its ingenious spiral structure emerges. The silver is raw aluminum, a gorgeous homage to Mercedes’ successful racing cars from the end of the 1930s, the Silver Arrows. But it is inside that Mercedes crushes all resistance. The steel-clad elevators with vertical slit windows rem iniscent of a knight’s helmet that rush visitors up the inner wall to the top floor are just one small but entertaining detail. There is technology under the surface, too. The museum has its own climate system that can actually create a small hurricane in the halls to blast out flames and smoke. But the exhibits are al most priceless. Just like the other museums, the exhibits are not replicas but the real deal, cars that have competed on tracks around the world or transported popes. There is one star here that shines brighter than the others. The Mercedes 300 SL from 1954, also called the Gullwing, makes you breathe a little harder. And everyone thinks the same thing: “What if cars still looked like that?” Mercedes has invested a lot in “all-round experiences.” There are interactive stations aplenty for bored <strong>school</strong>children. At one of the smaller stands, I get a crash course in the history of the Wunder-Baum, or Little Trees, air fresheners. Michael Bock, managing director of the Mercedes-Benz Mu - seum, says: “The museum has to be fun for the entire family, not just those interested in cars. You might have dragged your wife here, and she might get bored after half an hour if the only thing to see were cars.” Admiring a classic car is one thing. Owning one is another. But at the Mercedes-Benz Young Classics Store, you can drive off with a piece of modern motoring history. In contrast to the ex hi bition specimens, these ones are for sale. What about an aqua marine 300 SL from 1988, only 70,000km on the clock, for €42,450 ($58,500)? It’s a high price to pay to look like Bobby Ewing from the TV series Dallas, but the cars here are in im - maculate condition, as close to new as you can get. Of course, you could keep going: all the way up to Wolfsburg, where Volkswagen has its enormous Autostadt, a mixture of mu seum, factory, car showroom and experience center; Opel is planning a museum in its hometown of Rüsselsheim; and a real auto freak would never miss a detour to the racetracks of Hocken heim and Nürburgring. Nowhere else in the world are there such monuments to the car, let alone so many within a few hours’ drive. � � GO TO MUNICH SAS takes you to Munich from Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo.
