While most of America is still deep into covid-19 lockdown, Germany is loosening things after successfully flattening the curve. That means the Mercedes-Benz Museum will soon be welcoming some guests again. But before the crowds return, Benz sent a drone around for a bird’s-eye look at its collection, which is a fun sight to behold.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum stands at the entrance of the Daimler factory in the brand’s hometown of Stuttgart, Germany. It houses some 160 jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind vehicles, and around 1,500 exhibits.

Not only is this an incredible museum, just look at the mad skills on whoever is the drone pilot! It feels likes the opening to a particularly badass racing game where the whole of Mercedes-Benz’s history is up for you to play with.

Shops are in the process of reopening and soccer is returning, though with significant safety measures, such as social distancing and mandatory masks, still in place.
