Nearly four years after its opening day, the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart has welcomed its three millionth visitor. For Hubert Hermann, the monumental milestone came as quite an exciting surprise – Hubert was visiting the museum for the first time on his 80th birthday with his daughter and granddaughter, both of whom are fellow automotive enthusiasts, when it was announced he was the latest landmark visitor.
Commenting on the milestone, Michael Bock, head of Mercedes-Benz Museum, noted: “This year we’ve gotten off to a strong start and today- after nearly four years – we welcome the three millionth visitor.” He added: “Our goal is to continue to establish the Mercedes-Benz Museum as a place that combines history and innovation. For tourists, students and enthusiasts alike, we communicate the Mercedes-Benz through changing exhibitions, unique offers and exciting events. ”
Attendance to the Mercedes-Benz Museum over the past four years has been tremendously successful: five months after opening the museum welcomed its 500,000th visitor; in June 2007 the museum welcomed its one millionth visitor; and in September 2008, the museum welcomed its two millionth visitor. By the end of 2009, 2.8 million visitors had passed through the Mercedes-Benz Museum’s doors, about 15 percent of whom had visited from abroad.
