Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum, Transport museum in Bavariapark, Munich, Germany
The Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum is a transport museum in Munich spread across three large halls displaying more than 270 vehicles. The collection ranges from historic carriages to trains and modern automobiles, documenting the history of mobility.
The building dates to 1908 and originally served as an exhibition venue for transport events before becoming part of Deutsches Museum in 2003. Since then it has presented the evolution of transportation over more than two centuries.
The exhibits show how transportation shaped German life and connected people to cities and regions over time. Visitors see through the vehicles how daily travel, commerce, and social connections evolved across generations.
The museum is located in the Au-Haidhausen neighborhood and is easily accessible by public transport. Ground-level access to the halls allows comfortable movement for all visitors.
The museum holds the Benz Patent Motor Car number 1 from 1886, considered the world's first automobile with an internal combustion engine. This vehicle marks the birth of modern car history and stands as one of the collection's most important pieces.
