So myself and Dilligaf10 went to the above on the way back from some work in Switzerland and wow... Just... Wow!!

The motorsports hall literally took our breath away, it was actually quite emotional to be in the presence of such a huge collection of absolutely awesome machinery.

Highly recommended! (even though it involves visiting France....) [/xenophobia]

Epic place, been a few times and would be happy to do organised tours.

For the real anorak, the National Rail Museum is about 2km away as well....

Well worth a visit, so much more than just the Bugattis.

I visited this in 2009,it's an easy trip from Stuttgart where i had been to Porsche and

Mercedes museums.

I didn't spend long enough there as i had an appointment with a ferry.

Agreed, amazing place. It needs two days really. Favourite exhibit is the Arzens Whale next door to the Egg.

Here's me getting too close to the Bugatti Royale...

It's a wonderful museum. There are so many Bugattis you can actually get a bit blasé about seeing them.

Shame it's in Mulhouse, however. The place is a dump.

The Veyron stand is worth going for on its own, the Citroen factory video is worth going for on its own. Is there a better car museum in the word?

Amazing value and just so well done.

The story behind it is fascinating.

I went for the first time last year and it takes your breath away when you first see the main hall...

Even the entrance impresses me.
