Thanks for sharing the pictures. I was there last month and in that time it looks like they've changed the display a bit. Wasn't it great seeing all of those legends...I really appreciate that they aren't behind ropes!

I'm totally surprised by your Turbo S pictures! I took the train to the museum and that was the first car I saw as I walked from the station to the museum, but unfortunately it was locked away behind a gate...now it's sitting in the parking garage?! I didn't even think to look in the garage for more cool cars...next visit.

I hope you settled your nerves after the visit with a nice huge liter bier!

Yea they had some kick *** cars in the garage as well, that yellow Turbo S had only 600 km's on it !
I did have a few beers, we made our way down to the swiss alps (Grindelwald) which was breathtaking and then through lake Como area and on down to Monaco. In the parking deck in Monaco there were several nice cars including a late model porsche GT3 RS that had about 2 inches of dirt and dust on it as though it had been sitting for well over a year, people were writing there names in the dust!!!

Great pics, thanks! It's really incredible how small those early prototype racers (the 'plastic Porsches') are.

Great set of pictures. I bet you were feeling some eye strain by the end of that visit.

Nice pictures Jerry. I imagine it's hard to get really decent shots in there anyway; with all those people in the way and all

Wow, love it. Went to the old museum, if you can really call it that, and did a factory tour a couple of years back. Would love to see the new one, thanks for posting!

Great pics, Jerry. Thanks for posting them!

I would have sensory overload. Their security would have to throw me out when they closed.

Or lure me out with

which they could, I'm sure.
