The Mercedes-Benz Museum is an automotive museum housed in Stuttgart, Germany. The current building, which stands directly outside the main gate of the Daimler factory in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, was designed by UN Studio. It is based on a unique cloverleaf concept using three overlapping circles with the center removed to form a triangular atrium. The building’s height and “double helix” interior were designed to maximise space, providing 16,500 square metres of exhibition space on a footprint of just 4,800 square metres.
