Technical History with Shining Exhibits

The Vehicle Museum Suhl focuses on the history of regional vehicle construction. Historical bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and automobiles illustrate the development of the Suhl vehicle industry and the significance of the Simson brand. Covering approximately 1,400 square meters, the museum showcases more than 250 restored exhibits, including famous two-wheelers, motorsport vehicles, and automobiles from Thuringian vehicle production.

Exhibition Atmosphere and Aesthetic Experience

The Museums Night thrives on the interplay of spaces and perspectives: Bookshelves, historical objects, shining surfaces, metal, mechanics, and musical sounds create a unique exhibition atmosphere. Between readings, museum exhibits, and concerts, a sensory connection of painting, object culture, technical history, and performative storytelling emerges, even as the event consciously presents different cultural expressions side by side.

The 2nd Suhl Museums Night is aimed at visitors of various generations. Families will discover regional history playfully, literature lovers will engage with a multimedia book reading, and technology enthusiasts will experience the development of vehicle construction through authentic exhibits.
