Musée National de l'Automobile, collection Schlumpf

One of the best car museums i’ve ever been. It’s really worth every penny you’re paying for it. Tons of great, rare and unique pieces you will find there. Nice location, brilliant realisation. All cars are in good condition, and like in any other real museum, you can smell oil, gasoline and old leather from them. If you have kids or you just unbelievably love cars, you’ll be happy there

Quite possibly one of the greatest car collections in the world. The outside is Beautifully presented... Upon entering the building you have no idea of how overwhelming this place can be. As you begin walking around and seeing a few cars you get lulled into it being a normal museum.... But then you walk into the room with a few Bugattis... You keep walking and seeing more Bugattis... Then you realise, one whole side is just Bugattis 🤯 Then you see the Bugatti Royale.. and realise hold on the have two Bugatti Royales 🤯 .. This place is crazy the sheer number of Bugattis and special cars is crazy... Then the story of the Schlumpf brothers ... Simply put, if you are a car lover you must come here... It's epic.. The shock value never diminishes even after multiple trips

DEFINITELY A MUST if you're in Mulhouse area, east France. The fact that Musée National de l'Automobile has an collection of more than 400+ cars ranging from more than 100 years ago, is amazing itself. Not to mention they have probably the world most complete collection of Bugatti, like almost a hundred of them. And one of them in the Masterpiece area, the 1936 50T Cabriolet, is now the world most expensive vehicle, worth 100M Euro !!! The details of it, and the idea of building a luxury car back to almost 100 years ago, is really highly admired.

This was a quick day trip for us while staying in Basel. Amazing collection of automotive history and well worth spending a few hours to explore. The collection of cars from the Tintin books was very cool, particularly if you're a Tintin fan like me!

If you’re a fan of classic cars, this museum is a mustsee. The collection is vast and seems endless, with many beautifully preserved vintage models. During my visit, there was also a special Tintin exhibition, which made it even more enjoyable.

What a place! Totally didn't expect it to be quite this big or have as many cars and exhibits!! It is well worth the entrance fee and the exhibits are laid out really well. It has around 500 cars and 120 Bugatti's on display! The restaurant is great too and decent value. If you are in the area, visit and spend the afternoon seeing some great cars!

Millions of dollars worth of cars, and they couldn’t get a decent translator for the placards? Honestly it became kind of amusing just how bad the English translations were after a while. The cars are stunning, there is no denying that. Arguably the most complete collection of vintage Bugattis in the world (but surprisingly no modern ones - no Chiron, EB110, not even a Veyron? Maybe they’re locked away somewhere else) 1/4 of the cars in the main hall were covered in white drapes due to construction. To the contractors/ museum officials, I say to you: “ plastic sheeting comes in transparent forms”. Overall a vanity project of a (now dead) rich white guy but there’s some stellar automotive and racing history laid out in these rooms. You’re in Mulhouse, you’re likely gonna go.

One of the best car collections I have seen. From old to new and some extremely rare peices. We spent about 3 hours in here. There were lots of other things inside to keep children entertained too. There was a section all about Tintin which showed the different books and the cars linked to it which was nice. There was a driving simulator, small ride on cars and a vr F1 experience.

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 - see https://www.yelp.com/collection/0cY-NQxr4PY3Wntj3uA-xw). 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). It 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! [Review 21195 overall - 113 in France - 159 of 2024.]

While in France, my partner wanted to see the car museum in Mulhouse and didn't disappoint as car enthusiast like himself. The train tickets were booked the day before. Being it was almost a 4 hour ride to the Alsace Lorraine region (northeast of France), we went 1st class which was smooth, quiet and prompt. Being in that class, free wifi was offered but didn't work the entire trip. The museum collection was once the pride and joy of two brothers, one of whom was totally obsessed with cars. They were known as the Schlumpf Brothers, Hans and Fritz. They founded a successful wool company in Mulhouse and began buying vintage cars in 1957. There are more than 450 cars in the collection. The vast majority of them date from the first days of car production to the 1970s. More recent additions include a series of grand prix racing cars. The most expensive, a Bugatti Royale, one of only six in the world, just doesn't have a price tag. From end March to beginning of November, you can drive on the track. You can actually pick from a selection of awesome cars. It does cost extra to do this (from 40 euros) . Cité de L'Automobile Musée was extraordinary, extravagant and extremely fascinating to everyone but especially those who are into cars.

This place was amazing! A great place to visit for the whole family. Absolutely loved it. There are beautiful cars everywhere. The history of the museum and cars are very interesting whether you are a car buff or just a friend dragged along for the ride. It is interesting to everyone. You can take the tour on a trolley or just walk around with a recorded tour which comes with the ticket. Take a test drive in some beautiful cars for an additional fee. We test drove a Ferrari which was tons of fun.

An utterly amazing collection. The Schlumpf collection is featured here, and that means a ton of Bugattis snatched up after the company went under. I went there to see the 1-of-1 Bugatti Type 252, but to my chagrin its owner didn't have it loaned to the museum at that time. The staff, when I asked about the 252, was extremely kind and helpful, despite the language barrier, to get me the story on my favorite Bugatti. My favorite thing was seeing row upon row of racing Bugattis in French Racing Blue, it was an amazing sight. There were also important 50's racers from Mercedes Benz and Maserati, and a Discovolante Alfa Romeo. If you are into English cars, they even had a 1934 Standard Swallow, built by the company that would become Jaguar. If you love cars and find yourself in Western Europe, add this museum to your itinerary. It's fabulous, full of amazing cars you perhaps didn't know existed, and wasn't even crowded.

We stumbled upon this while driving and saw the sign on the highway. We expected something small, but this place was huge! And arriving early, there was almost no one there. Still, it took hours to see everything because it's really cool, with a great layout, and it's easy to pick your own adventure. So much history and stunning cars.

TheMusée Nationale de l'Automobile in the Avenue de Colmar, Mulhouse contains over 450 vintage and veteran cars from many different countries, including one of the largest collections of Bugattis, as well as Rolls-Royces and Panhards. Audio guide is extensive, in several languages. I spend two hours and the museum and did not see everything there was. Not to be missed. TheMusée Nationale de l'Automobile dans l'avenue de Colmar, Mulhouse contient plus de 450 voitures anciennes et des anciens combattants de différents pays, y compris l'une des plus grandes collections de Bugatti, ainsi que Rolls-Royce et Panhard.

The GREATEST CAR MUSEUM in the UNIVERSE! If it's important, it's here. This is the home of Bugatti. The french nationalized the Bugatti factory nearly eighty years ago. They have road cars, rally cars, Group C cars and two of the very few Bugatti Royales in the world. Their race cars are incredible. I stopped counting in the early billions of value. And that was over five years ago. I love this place. The hotel at the train station is very proper and there are lots of good restaurants in town. If you're passing through, stop here. Period.

First:I thought I am not particularly interested in cars Second: I hardly can point out the difference between a bughatti and a jaguar, or a fiat and a vw But Third: all this changed with my visit in this amazing car collection! Really everybody, from 5 to 105 years, man or woman, will find his/her dream car (mine definetly is the Citroen DS), and even the car he/she knows from their grandparents (the VW Beetle?), their parents (the Renault R4?) and maybe their own kids (the prototype of the next Bughatti?) a travel through history and design and motion. Impressive.

Must be a billion dollars worth of cars here. But for me the most interesting is the Bugatti veyron exhibit and video. What a machine! Museum cost was only 14 euro and we'll worth it. Took a bazillion photos. Would highly recommend to any car buff.

The Collection Schlumpf is the French National Car Collection and is one of the best collections in the world. There are more Bugattis on display than anywhere else.

CAR HEAVEN! The perfect auto museum. They have everything. The Bugatti's alone made the trip worthwhile.
