AutomotiveMuseums is born with the desire to contribute to the enhancement of the motor heritage, and to become the world reference point for the Museums and private Collections, also as a useful tool for all the enthusiasts who wish to visit these splendid places.

The Museums and private Collections dedicated to the automotive and motorcycle world, as well as to the world of transport such as commercial and railway vehicles, are several thousand in the world. Among them we can mention extraordinary places, such as: the Ferrari Museum, Lamborghini Museum, Ducati Museum, Alfa Romeo Museum, Mercedes Museum, Porsche Museum, BMW Museum, Harley-Davidson Museum, Barber Motorsport Museum, Peterson Automotive Museum, Simeon Automotive Museum, Louwman Museum, Beaulieu Motor Museum, National Automobile Museum Turin, Nicolis Museum, Umberto Panini Collection, Mario Righini Collection, Pietrarsa Railway Museum and many others.

The overall values kept in these private museums and collections are unquantifiable, both from a historical and economic point of view, but considering the current values, they can exceed the estimate of 20 Billion euros. ClassicCarTrust, a Luxembourg consultancy company, has revealed the first ranking of the top 100 vintage car collectors, which together hold 3.500 cars for a total value of over 8 Billion dollars. Among these collectors we can cite as an example: the stylist Ralph Lauren, the american TV presenter Jey Leno, the former Microsoft president Jon Shirley, the american real estate developer Peter Kalikow, the Italian Nicola Bulgari of the famous family of jewelers, the italian Mario Righini owner the first car built by Enzo Ferrari.

AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUMS wants to be a dynamic portal, where you can consult the complete list of museums and private collections that can be visited by the public, dedicated to cars, motorcycles and transport vehicles. For each Museum and Collection you can consult the description, photo gallery, video section, references and geographical location. All the accesses to the social networks and web platforms are present, used by every museum and collection.

AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUMS in addition to the mission of creating a list of museums in the world, is committed to giving a voice to all these exhibitions and private collections in an active and dynamic way, telling themed exhibitions and curiosities related to the vehicles on display, which very often are very rare and with absolutely fascinating stories.
