BMW’s themed exhibition covers design, technology, model series and motorsport. It is a separate destination from nearby BMW Welt, whose focus includes current vehicles. Choose the Museum for historical context; do not mistake free admission to Welt for a museum ticket.

It makes our ten for explaining one manufacturer from several angles. Autoworld ranks higher for cross-brand variety. BMW loyalists can reverse that choice, but first check the current exhibit notices rather than travelling for a particular car seen in an old photograph.
