The Vatican is opening a celebration of the popemobile, the now-iconic vehicle that for nearly a century has let popes get close to the faithful at home and abroad.

The Vatican Museums on Wednesday unveiled a preview of the exhibition commemorating A Century Of The Popemobile, featuring eight Mercedes-Benz versions of the car that popes have used since 1930. It officially opened to the public on Thursday.
