About this activity
Vroom vroom! If you love cars and motors, then you might just want to visit The British Motor Museum!
This impressive museum is home to the world’s largest collection of historic British Cars - which is quite something!
The museum is home to over 400 cars in its collection which span the classic, vintage and veteran eras. Kids can find their favourite cars, or come face to face with ones they might have never seen before!
The museum building itself is worth a visit alone, as it's a spectacular piece of architecture with an art deco design. Then you have the nice contrast with the modern Collections Centre. Together they can both be found in a beautifully landscaped setting of 65 acres, rolling out onto the Warwickshire countryside!
The British Motor Museum is known for having one of the top car collections in the world (yay!) but it's also so much more than just a motor museum.
You can also find a comprehensive archive and picture library, as well as a number of education and learning programmes. The museum also run a spectacular calendar of specialist motoring events, as well as clubs, rallies, and group visits.
Start those engines kids, it's time to visit the British Motor Museum!
