A 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 must see museum.

According to multiple sources, this is the largest automobile collection in the world. I don't know about that (the Ford in Dearborn, the Volo in Illinois, the Technik in Sinsheim and the National Auto Museum in Reno seem larger). This is certainly the largest collection of pre-1900's and pre-1920's. Starting with a display of hood ornaments and then continuing with cars throughout the years, this is a massive exhibit. An 1894 Panhard-Levassor, 1898 Peugeot, 1930 Maserati Biplace Sport Type 2000, 1936 Mercedes-Benz Type 500K, 1930 Bugatti Roaster Type 43A, 1934 Citroen 7-A Berline, 1942 Arzens L'Oeuf Biplace, 1986 Trabant, 1913 Violet-Bogey Torpedo Type A. So many more. Ferrari, Aston-Martin, Alfa-Romeo, Renault. Coupes and sedans and racecars (open wheel, closed wheel, F1). This is a half day at least. Plan ahead with snacks and a full battery on your phone. The museum is a short walk from the tram station which in turn is a few stops from the Mulhouse railway station. It's easy to access if you are in the Alsace region. Don't miss out!

Definitely, worth the hour it took us to drive to Mulhouse and the 15 minutes trying to find the entrance. Someone really ought to let Google know where and how to enter. The recommendation is that you should spend 2 hours at the museum, I think half a day is more accurate. So many cars, so much information to take onboard and so many photo opportunities. This was my day out but even my wife found it fascinating. There is an outside area where the cars are shown off but the weather wasn’t good enough and so that area was closed. I thought that €18 per person is really good value for a few hours of entertainment. There are a couple of toilets one at the entrance and there’s a gift shop as well as a restaurant/bar. The gift shop was a bit limited but that’s not the reason for visiting.

The museum is very big. The collection of Bugatti's is impressive, but overwhelming. The museum is very French in their collection. This results in some cars that are not as special cluttering the collection. In The Netherlands we have a private collection of Louwman. The Louwman collection is not quite as big, but far more special, since they only add vehicles to their collection if a vehicle is removed from the collection. This results in far more exceptional cars. If I had to advise someone between the two, the Louwman wins hands down. The current Bugatti factory included a number of cars in the exhibition, but the Chiron and the Divo were both mockups. This was not stated in the plaque, but it was clear at closer inspection.

Absolutely brilliant museum with the most classic cars I have ever seen. Possibly the best collection of classic Bugattis anywhere. They also have a couple of the new ones, we saw the Veyron on our visit. There is a small track outside where you can pay to drive a selection of cars, supercars to classics. We visited just after Christmas and found only the cafe open, the restaurant was closed. The cafe / bar had drinks and some sandwiches, nothing else. There is a play area for kids with toys and racing consoles as well. We spent just over there hours here, with a 5 year old. But if you like cars you could do the whole day. It is easy to get to from the train station, we walked and it was about 30 mins.
