Cité de l'Automobile, the biggest car museum in the world, is a vast and intricate complex that houses approximately 400 vintage automobiles. The Motorcar Experience section displays historical documents tracing the car's evolution from its inception in the late 19th century to the present day. In Motor Racing, one can explore race cars dating as far back as 1908, while Motorcar Masterpieces showcases around 80 prestigious vehicles from the 1920s to the 1940s.
Une expérience vraiment enrichissante, impressionnante, pour tout les âges avec des activités ludiques aussi pour les enfants, l'ensemble de la collection a vraiment bien été entretenu et chaque voiture est unique, des voitures sportives parfois loufoques et dans l'ensemble la visite passe super vite, il faut bien compter 2 h pour pouvoir en profiter un maximum.(Translated by Google)A really enriching, impressive experience, for all ages with fun activities also for children, the whole collection has been really well maintained and each car is unique, sometimes crazy sports cars and overall the visit passes super fast, it takes 2 hours to be able to enjoy it to the fullest.

Of course for a small final fee of course!If you are in the area and are interested in old cars, definitely take a look.

An automobile museum of superlatives! Not only does it house over a hundred Bugattis, the collection also provides a vivid insight into the development of very early automobile models. The room with the luxury saloons from the 1930s is just as impressive as the collection of sports cars from the 1930s to the 1950s. All of this is very attractively presented and a bar and restaurant cater for visitors' physical well-being.A clear recommendation!

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!

This museum was one of my best experiences in Mulhouse! Tickets are very cheap, there are certain discounts for families or students, probably some more categories aswell. I enjoyed walking this museum and seeing things that made me feel very nostalgic! In my opinion it's a fair price for tickets, if you get this kind of experience.Entering the museum was kind of hard for me, or not entering but finding the entertance itself. It's very confusing on maps and I needed some time to figure out where I should actually go. It was very overwhelming but I'm glad that I found it because it was a lovely experience!I'm leaving you guys some pictures that might be intriguing.

A simply jaw-dropping museum collection of epic proportions and quality. Many, many cars that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world, let alone in such a well appointed collection.Fantastic variety and curation from the earliest years of the automobile to current day Supercars.Bulk of the collection is formed by the original Schlumpf Bugatti’s which remain as captivating as ever.Highly recommended - allow 3 hours for a good visit. Onsite parking, lockers no longer available due to security concerns.

Amazing collection of cars, especially if you like early Bugattis. Some parts of the museum need to be refeshed though like the entrance restrooms. The staff at the bar was also rather incompetent and unfriendly that day.

Sehr beeindruckende Sammlung mit Schwerpunkt auf Bugatti. Die jüngere Geschichte des Automobils, etwa die letzten 30 bis 40 Jahre, kommen etwas kürzer. Die Möglichkeit, außergewöhnliche Modelle selbst zu fahren, ist tolll.(Translated by Google)Very impressive collection with a focus on Bugatti. The more recent history of the automobile, roughly the last 30 to 40 years, is somewhat shorter. The opportunity to drive extraordinary models yourself is great.

(Translated by Google) I'm not particularly interested in automobile design, I was there with a friend who is a fan, but I must say that the collection is impressive as much as the place. The staff is rather courteous and the temporary exhibition on cars in the films of Louis de Funès was rich! I recommend seeing it at least once if you’re in the area 😎😉.(Original)Je ne m'intéresse pas spécialement au design automobile, j'y étais avec un ami qui est fan, mais je dois dire que la collection est impressionnante tout autant que le lieu.
