In celebration of International Museum Day, the Porsche Museum will throw open its virtual doors for digital visitors on May 17. Shown exclusively on Instagram, the event features two guides working as docent guiding viewers through a special exhibition.
“Digital diversity is more important than ever in times like these, where travel is a greater challenge than ever before”, says Achim Stejskal, Head of Heritage and Porsche Museum. “We have been consistently driving forward the expansion of digital offerings not just since the corona crisis, but for years. We have committed ourselves to the ‘Mission Future Heritage’. We would like to u
se modern channels to demonstrate the heritage and future of the brand, not just at our site in Zuffenhausen, but beyond the museum as well”.
