All 20 BMW Art Cars Are Finally Together In One Place

To celebrate the collection's 50th anniversary, BMW Welt in Munich is hosting the exhibition "BMW Art Cars—20 Artists, 50 Years Of Innovation. Reunited At BMW Welt." The event takes place from July 29 to August 31, 2026.

For the first time ever, all 20 BMW Art Cars—often referred to as "rolling sculptures"—are on display together in a single location. The exhibition officially opened on July 28, marking the ceremonial conclusion of the BMW Art Car World Tour, which traveled to more than 30 countries. Across Munich, the celebration also includes a citywide poster campaign featuring René Staud's color-coded photography series.

BMW's Art Car History

The story of the BMW Art Car Collection began in 1975, when race driver and art auctioneer Hervé Poulain teamed up with BMW motorsport chief Jochen Neerpasch to commission artist Alexander Calder to paint a BMW 3.0 CSL for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. What started as a one-off collaboration evolved into what Neerpasch described as the world's most significant collection of automotive art.
