BMW Museum
The BMW Museum traces BMW history through the material proof of engineering rather than advertising: a corporate collection that covers engines, turbines, aircraft, motorcycles, and vehicles. It was established in 1973, shortly after the 1972 Summer Olympics opened, and it sits directly opposite the BMW Welt, where major works followed from 2004 to 2008. The museum reopened on 21 June 2008, with an exhibition space of 5,000 square meters presenting about 120 exhibits. Architecture here is part of the story. The silver, futuristic building—often nicknamed the “salad bowl” or “white cauldron”—was designed by Karl Schwanzer, the architect of the BMW Headquarters. Its roughly circular base is only 20 meters in diameter, while the flat roof extends to about 40 meters. Step inside this setting and the exhibits shift from products to context: history, mobility, and the place of consumer technology in modern life.
