A journey through 140 years: Mercedes-Benz Studio Bucharest opens its doors at the Museum of Recent Art

Bucharest is becoming the epicenter of automotive excellence and cultural avant-garde. Mercedes-Benz has officially inaugurated Mercedes-Benz Studio Bucharest, a unique exhibition concept that harmoniously combines the fascinating history of the German manufacturer with contemporary art.

The event, which celebrates almost 140 years of innovation, is hosted by the Museum of Recent Art (MARe), located on 15 Primăverii Boulevard, and will remain open to the public until July 12.

When top engineering meets art

Held on levels 0 and 3 of the museum, Mercedes-Benz Studio Bucharest proposes an unconventional dialogue between automotive aesthetics and museum space. The choice of location is not accidental: vehicle design in Stuttgart has always been considered a form of industrial art, and MARe provides the perfect backdrop to highlight classic lines and futuristic technologies.

Visitors will have the rare opportunity to see the evolution of mobility under one roof. The exhibition's centerpiece is undoubtedly the Benz Patent Motorwagen – the vehicle patented by Carl Benz in 1885, recognized worldwide as the world's first modern automobile.

In addition to this historical gem, the exhibition spotlights:

• Classic collectible models that marked different eras of the automotive industry.
• The current Mercedes-Benz range, showcasing the modern vision of luxury and performance.
• Cutting-edge technological innovations, offering a detailed look at the brand's electric and digital future.

More than an exhibition: Interactive experiences for the public

Mercedes-Benz Studio Bucharest was conceived as a lively, interactive space where car enthusiasts, families and lovers of beauty can spend quality time. Over the course of several weeks, the event's agenda includes a series of diverse activities:

• Test drive sessions: Those interested can directly experience the performance and comfort of the latest models from the brand's current portfolio.
• Creative workshops: Interactive activities designed specifically for parents and children, transforming the visit into an educational and fun experience for the whole family.
• Private events and workshops: Spaces dedicated to networking and exclusive presentations.

Note for visitors: To ensure the most fluid and pleasant experience, access to the event can be done either by prior online registration on the official event website, or directly on site, at the museum reception.

Whether you are a vintage car enthusiast or want to discover what driving will look like in the coming years, Mercedes-Benz Studio Bucharest promises to be one of the main attractions this summer in the Capital. The exhibition can be visited every day, according to the museum's schedule, until mid-July.
