Vatican Museums to exhibit a century of the Popemobile

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Vatican Museums opened an exhibition on October 28 tracing 100 years of papal vehicles. The display commemorates a century of cooperation between the Holy See and Mercedes-Benz.

The exhibition features eight historic Mercedes-Benz vehicles, beginning with a 1930 Nürnburg 460 dedicated to Pope Pius XI. The collection also includes the first automobile ever built and a modern Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The display tracks the evolution of these vehicles from ceremonial transport to modern platforms used for direct interaction between the pope and the faithful.
