Vatican Museums popemobile exhibition

Overview

The Vatican Museums launched an exhibition titled ‘A Century of the Popemobile’ in the Giardino Quadrato. The display features eight historic Mercedes-Benz vehicles used by popes since 1930, beginning with a 1930 Nürburg 460 gifted to Pope Pius XI.

The collection tracks the technological and functional evolution of these vehicles, showing how they transitioned from luxury limousines with silk brocade and wood finishes to modern models designed for security, visibility, and closer contact with the faithful. Barbara Jatta, director of the Vatican Museums, noted that Mercedes-Benz has supplied most of the vehicles used by popes over the last century. The exhibition is scheduled to run until January.
