In October 2011, after a two-year construction period, the newly built entrance hall with attached offices, a small lecture hall, visitor foyer, cash desk area and museum shop was opened.
Numerous vehicles, including motor vehicles , locomotives , passenger cars , bicycles and trams, are shown on an area of 12,000 square meters . The exhibitions are thematically structured and are intended to conceptually represent traffic as a network and in all of its economic, political and social contexts. The permanent exhibition shows:
- City traffic (Hall I)
- Travel (Hall II)
- Mobility and Technology (Hall III)
A milestone in the history of technology can also be admired in Hall III, the Benz Patent Motor Car No. 1 , the world's first modern automobile with a combustion engine from 1886.
The museum also shows special exhibitions. In addition, the traffic center cooperates with the Lokwelt Freilassing , a railway museum in a listed round locomotive shed in Freilassing . Other locomotives from the holdings of the Deutsches Museum will be shown there.
Exhibition halls
The three exhibition halls were designed by Wilhelm Bertsch in 1906 , built from 1907 and opened on May 16, 1908 as part of the Munich Exhibition Center. These are buildings made of reinforced concrete , for contemporaries in irritatingly simple forms. Today there are cultural monuments due to the Bavarian Monument Protection Act .
In a new music-Festhalle today's hall I built was on 12 September 1910, the first performance of the Symphony No. 8 by Gustav Mahler held in 1936 a heavily occupied chess tournament for national teams .
