I bet they're glad they built this thing just in the nick of time. The people behind the blobby-shaped Mercedes-Benz museum are probably also giving big sighs of relief.

It looks like a Daniel Libeskind project got it on with a generic airport terminal...

...but it's well worth a visit I'm sure. I'd love to visit the other German automaker museums as well, particularly the Audi one.

I wonder why they didn't use the extruded aluminum that we used for the ROM. It is German after all.

Does it have a fancy name yet? Thay often give these conventionally unconventional spectacle buildings a fancy name - Meteor, Crystal, whatever. The Mercedes-Benz museum across town makes much of the fact that the interior is supposed to look like a double helix.

I really don't mind the building (at least from photographs). I think it looks like Libeskind doing Hadid (now I can only picture Libeskind boning that troll, gross).

Naw, he's too wimpy. Rem Koolhaas would, though...

Oooooooo that Rem, he's a looker!

Meh. I've been to BMW Welt a couple of times, and that building is gorgeous. The BMW Museum looks more like a toilet bowl, but is very impressive inside.

I don't feel like this Porsche Museum has anything to do with the cars that it's showcasing. Find me a sharp angle on any Porsche...aside from the window sills, you just won't.

The BMW bowl looks better to me...

BMW reminds me of the Calgary Saddledome.
