Munich - BMW Museum
The BMW Museum in Munich is housed in a windowless silver-colored concrete bowl, 41m/134ft in diameter, the effect of which is in striking counterpoint to the adjacent skyscraper and sprawling factory buildings.
The museum exhibition, re-modeled every few years. By means of gently ascending ramps visitors re-enter the motoring world of yesterday.
