Munich. The BMW Museum has carried out extensive renovations to its entrance area. The primary aims here were to create a modern and future-focused ambience, improve accessibility for all guests and use digital solutions to make the ticket-buying process more efficient.
Innovations for an improved visitor experience
The redesigned counter attracts visitors’ attention with a vibrant, lavish wall of plants, providing a very special atmosphere as they enter the Museum – and at the same time helping to create a better indoor climate. Opposite the counter, there is a comfortable new seating area that makes an ideal place to meet people or take a quick break. A particular highlight is the interactive, kinetic floor in the north entrance, which invites visitors to generate electricity through their movements which will then activate an eye-catching light installation.
The online shop has also been optimised, allowing not only entry tickets, but also guided tours, children’s birthday parties and holiday offers to be purchased directly. In addition, visitors can now pay using credit and debit cards, Apple Pay or PayPal.
Redesign has a special focus on people and nature
The changes to the lobby area took both ecological and social considerations into account. Indeed, the new design uses recyclable materials and has above all improved the working environment for Museum staff. The addition of four ticket machines in the lobby has eased their workloads, while improved accessibility was a key consideration in the renovations to the lobby area.
With these extensive updates now complete, the BMW Museum can offer all visitors a very warm welcome within a future-focused and accessible space.
