During the current COVID-19 pandemic, several establishments, including the Porsche Museum, have to close their doors to visitors. This was primarily done to ensure safety not just of the general public but also of their employees. With new protocols in place and sans any crash, the Porsche Museum is again opening its doors to visitors starting March 16, 2021, with two new special exhibitions in place.
Interactive 911 Turntables And Redesigned Multimedia Guide
Visitors will find various changes to the exhibits at Porsche Museum. For instance, the Porsche 956 is now located at the Historic Motorsport section. Derivatives from all six Porsche 911 models are placed on interactive turntables at the ‘Consistent’ station at the museum. All six models feature red illuminated lines to visually depict their Porsche design DNA.
Meanwhile, the Multimedia Guide section -- which features extensive information about the cars in the exhibition -- has been redesigned to work with the Android 8 OS, with a larger display with Full HD+ resolution. A children's version of the Multimedia Guide 2.0 is available. Since the exhibits in the permanent exhibition are changed on a regular basis, the Museum has produced new audio content for all 210 vehicles inside.
Experience Adrenaline Rush With Racing Simulators
The museum now features Porsche Racing Simulators that allow users to experience the adrenaline of motorsport. Featuring a curved driver-oriented screen and a 911 GT3 Cup steering wheel, the simulator is equipped with high-performance pedals, racing seat and the D-BOX Motion System that moves the driver sideways, up and down, forwards and backwards.
For those who wanted to take their pictures in a Porsche, they can now do so by simply taking a seat in the cars in the museum at against a range of different scenery. The desired backdrop is applied at collection point, with the visitors able to get a free print or even a soft copy via e-mail.
COVID-19 Protocols In Place
Depending on the seven-day incidence rate (COVID-19), visitors may or may not be required to register in advance. Likewise, visitors need to wear an FFP2 or medical mask throughout the building. The Porsche Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is advisable to contact the museum first before any visit.
