After an eight- week closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart is set to re-open from Tuesday, 12 May.
The restart of museum operations will be in line with the requirements of the Federal Government and the State of Baden-Württemberg for protection against infection with the coronavirus. This includes a new guidance system in the entire building to ensure a minimum distance of 1.50 m between visitors.
"We will provide face masks and disinfectants, as well as carry out regular occupational safety training for staff relating to hygiene and conduct recommendations" adds Achim Stejskal, Head of Heritage and Porsche Museum.
Throughout the museum building, the number of visitors is limited by a controlled entrance. The opening hours remain unchanged – Tuesdays to Sundays from 9am to 6pm. Museum tours and didactic programs cannot be offered at the moment. The gastronomic areas will also remain closed. "We are extending the validity of the annual tickets by two months, by the duration of the museum closure during the Corona crisis", announces Achim Stejskal.
During the closure, the Porsche Museum brought forward maintenance and renovation measures that had been planned to take place this year. Thus, a start was made on the conceptual reorientation of the entrance to the permanent exhibition, the so-called "Prologue", which presents the early days of the company up to 1948. Due to this still ongoing renovation work, the admission price is temporarily reduced by half.
