Vatican exhibition on popemobile history

Overview

The Vatican Museums launched an exhibition titled ‘A Century of the Popemobile,’ featuring eight historic Mercedes-Benz vehicles used by popes since 1930. The collection illustrates the transition of these vehicles from luxury limousines to modern models designed to increase visibility and engagement with the public.

During the exhibition, Pope Leo XIV met with Mercedes-Benz executives to commemorate the nearly 100-year partnership between the Holy See and the manufacturer. The Pope described the vehicle as having evolved into an ‘instrument of encounter’ that facilitates the Church’s mission by allowing the pontiff to connect more closely with the faithful during pastoral visits and public celebrations.
