On May 12, 2020, next Tuesday, the Porsche Museum will open its doors again. The museum had closed due to retrictions imposed due to the outbreak of the corona virus. It will be a whole eight weeks that the museum has been closed.

The museum opening will be in compliance with the Federal Government and the State of Baden-Württemberg for protection against infection. This means it’s not quite business as usual, but a significant step. The measures taken include a new guidance system in the entire building to ensure a minimum distance of 1.50m between visitors.

“We also provide face masks and disinfectants,” adds Achim Stejskal, Head of Heritage and Porsche Museum. “We carry out regular occupational safety training for staff relating to hygiene and conduct recommendations.”

The number of visitors are limited throughout the building by a controlled entrance. The opening hours however remain the same as before. Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 6pm. “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.

Unfortunately museum tours and certain programs are not possible at the moment. All catering facilities will be closed for the foreseeable future.

But, Porsche spent the time during the closure well. With much planned maintenance and renovation brought forward. A start was made on the conceptual reorientation of the entrance to the permanent exhibition. The Prologue, which presents the early days of the company up to 1948 is one of those things that is currently disrupted. So, whilst the renovation work is ongoing the admission price is reduced by half.
