Merks Motor Museum, Automobile museum in Nuremberg, Germany.

Merks Motor Museum is Nuremberg's first automobile museum, opened in April 2011 in the Schafhof district. It occupies the roughly 2,000-square-metre production hall of the former Johann Schlee window factory on Klingenhofstraße, restored over two years by the Merk family. The displays hold 90 cars and 100 motorcycles, among them a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet, a 1927 Chevrolet Coach and a 1955 Jaguar XK 140 OTS.

The Merk family started collecting in 1975 with a Mercedes 220S Cabriolet, eventually establishing the museum which opened officially in April 2011. This long gathering process reflects the family's dedication to preserving automotive history.

Alongside the vehicles, the museum displays historic telephones, typewriters and radios, most of them made in Nuremberg, plus some 2,000 model cars. A kitchen from the 1930s and an office from the 1950s are set up as period rooms, and second-hand classic-car magazines from various decades are sold.

The museum occupies the restored production hall of the former Johann Schlee window factory on Klingenhofstraße in Schafhof, in Nuremberg's northeast. A museum shop and a bistro are attached, and the bistro can be rented for private celebrations. Auctions and flea markets are held in the museum from time to time.

The museum grew from a single 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220 S Cabriolet that Claus Merk bought in 1975 and restored with his wife; the family then kept adding vehicles. The building itself is the restored production hall of the former Johann Schlee window factory on Klingenhofstraße, roughly 2,000 square metres, reopened in April 2011.
