BMW Celebrates Over 50 Years of Culture

For 50 years now, BMW Group has been a world leader on the road and through their design and aesthetic. Though out the half-century, the company has worked with numerous organisations and artists to implement hundreds of great projects that promote art, music, design and architecture. Now, the German marque is celebrating over half a century of art.

“Culture is a vehicle for change, the artistic venture takes place at the intersection to the future,” said Eberhard von Kuenheim, then chairman of the board at BMW AG, in 1984. This is where BMW risks innovation as well. And while different in content, the underlying attitude is the same. Visualizing ways towards innovation is an integral part of BMW as much as it is of cultural creativity”.
