Rolls-Royce. Strive for Perfection, BMW Museum
All roads of car enthusiasts currently lead to Munich, which is hosting a major exhibition devoted to vehicles manufactured by British auto industry legend Rolls-Royce. This is the largest ever showing outside of Great Britain dedicated to the car brand that epitomizes luxury and perfection. Of course, taking into account that the British carmaker has been owned by the Munich-based BMW firm for the past ten years, it is hardly surprising that this exhibition is being shown in the five stories of the BMW Museum. Here, the history of Rolls-Royce is recounted with scrupulous precision - starting from the initial meeting between Henry Royce and Charles Rolls in 1904, and continuing to this day.
Fifteen original vehicles dating from 1907 to 2012 are on display, including the iconic Rolls-Royce 10EX (1926), which was one of the most innovative experimental car models of its time. A special section focuses on the legendary Spirit of Ecstasy figure that adorns the hood of every Rolls-Royce model ever made and that turns 100 this year. Three large photos from an enthralling 100-piece photo series by legendary English photographer Rankin are also on view at the museum. Visitors will also gain insights into the process by which each Rolls-Royce is crafted at Goodwood, the home and production site of all Rolls-Royce vehicles.
