Lots of wonderful lovely old car well placed out for your viewing pleasure not a lot of info especially for English speaking, unfortunately no new cars on display facilities for disabled not too good the lift they expect you to use is deadly my husband is in a wheelchair and we could not get his chair through the lift doors so he had to try and stand while i closed his chair up and still it was a squeeze to get in never mind the doors kept slaming shut on us quit violently while trying to sort this all out also the lift was very harsh in its movements too, jarring my back let alone my disabled husband who is now standing when he should be sat in his chair, staff were very nice despite the language barrier, it was 14 euros each which I thought was a little bit expensive, it did take us a good couple of hours to get round but we did drag it out a bit as we are both car nuts but able body people could do the whole thing in 45 mins to an hour but worth it the cars are in absolutely fantastic condition, the building is very airy and light but looks huge from the outside so gives you a false impression on how much your going to see, don't get me wrong there are a lot of cars but i was expecting (judging by the size of building) a lot more but that was my fault. Totally enjoyed it it was just the disability side of it all that made it harder than it...
Read moreA friend had recommended here as a museum of Bugatti's, what he didn’t mention is that it’s also the world’s largest display of cars.
On arrival I was not expecting much a scruffy looking gravel car park on the outskirts of town with hardly any cars parked up, you then walk up to the imposing old factory and realise the scale of the site. Once inside you can choose to walk on foot or jump on a guided tour in a small bus type vehicle.
You then get to explore the vast collection of the Schlumpf brothers (who have a very interesting story and how this became the national motor museum) You could spend days here looking at all the cars including 3 Bugatti Royales which could possibly be the most expensive car in the world if one came up for auction. There is a whole section dedicated to Bugatti and it certainly made my hairs stand up on the back of my neck knowing I was looking at a whole row of priceless cars that for many still run (sporting Goodwood festival of speed entrance stickers) for many cars in the collection they were easily into 7 figures!
I can highly recommend this museum to all who may pass by as a...
Read moreThis collection of veteran, vintage and classic cars is also known as the Schlumpf Collection. Located in former industrial premises the collection is large and impressive with the cars being arranged in bronze lamp-post lined rows. The collection has an interesting past with it originally being the private collection of two brothers. The collection was 'acquired' by the state and is open to the public. The condition of the collection is amazing and has within it one of the largest displays of Bugatti's in the world. It can be a little slow to get in if it is busy. Parking arrangements are good and it is pretty straightforward to find following the sat-nav address. There is a small test circuit attached to the museum to exercise the cars and there are special events held there. There is also a Veyron on show. Recommended, but remember if you are travelling from a channel port or the Tunnel it is quite a considerable run to get there. A good stopover if you are going into Switzerland. Good route to take on a motorbike using non- motorway roads, but still quite...
