‘Roadbook. The Porsche Museum on the road around the world’ special exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart from 30 October 2016 to 23 April 2017

The Porsche Museum is a living museum, and is equally at home at its state-of-the-art headquarters in Zuffenhausen as it is anywhere in the world. With the special exhibition ‘Roadbook. The Porsche Museum on the road around the world’, the museum curators are giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes for the first time: from vehicle deployment planning to appearances by celebrity drivers and preparing tours, visitors can get an impression of the strategic and logistical challenges. The special exhibition will run from 30 October 2016 until 23 April 2017, including on the upcoming German public holiday for ‘All Saints’ Day’ on 1 November 2016.

The ‘rolling museum’ travels all over the world 365 days a year. Each year, the museum handles over 200 vehicle deployments in more than 30 countries. For example, twenty-one exhibits inform visitors about transport and logistics for the valuable freight by land, sea and air, as well as technical preparations and follow-up tasks for all Porsches on display. Another attraction is the 911 model from 1966, which was photographed ‘Around the World’ in front of planet’s most famous landmarks in 2013 as the ‘eleven’ celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The special exhibition also features the 911 Carrera RSR which took part in the Targa Florio, the 911 SC Targa, a competitor in the ‘Top City Classic China Rally’, and the 356 A 1600 Speedster, which toured the coast roads on the west coast of America as part of the ‘California Mille’.
