BMW Welt is opening up again to all visitors on May 15th after the 2-month closure period amid the CoVID-19 outspread. Starting May 15th, BMW Welt will again be opened to general public, on a daily basis (Monday to Sunday) between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Until May 25th, the Cooper’s Bistro will offer food & beverage to-go service, as to ensure social distancing and to allow for a gradual reopening.
The exhibition and vehicle collection areas within the facility, together with the Junior Campus, the BMW Lifestyle & Accessory Shop, the Cooper’s Bistro, the Bavaria restaurant and the EssZimmer 2-star Michelin restaurant will become fully available to visitors beginning with May 25th.
To celebrate the reopening, the Double Cone structure of the impressive BMW Welt building will display a special lighting from May 14th to May 24th. A red, pulsating heartbeat motif will be featured as a sign of confidence and to symbolize the revival of BMW Welt.
Helmut Käs, Head of BMW Welt, commented on the event: “In recent weeks, large parts of public life have come to a complete standstill. We are very pleased that life is cautiously starting to return to normal and that we are allowed to open up again for visitors. With our lighting display we want to create a symbol of hope and togetherness during this opening-up phase.”
