The Porsche Museum is not just a collection of stunning cars strewn across a building. It is a smartly thought-out and built place that gives visitors an insight into the company's history and its ideologies.

A journey in time through the history of Porsche starts symbolically at the entrance with the body of the legendary Porsche Type 64. This 1939 car was built for the Berlin-Rome race, and although it never saw competition use because of the Second World War, it defines the start of the Porsche DNA that we see today. In many ways, it is the link connecting the history of Porsche before 1948 and after it - the same way in which the museum has been divided. Just like a walk back in time, this car at the entrance works as the splitting point of what led to the Type 64, and what the Type 64 led to.
