We show you the Schlumpf Collection - Mullhouse, France...
Cité de l'Automobile - National Museum - Schlumpf Collection
What ever you want to call this museum... its simply astounding, how big and awesome this collection of classic cars is. I'm pretty sure they have the largest collection of Bugatti cars in the world. They also have some very nice race cars that have run in Le Mans. And then they have the odd and bizarre cars that only the French could possibly love and adore. This is one of those museums you MUST go to visit! I think they must have over 400 cars here. The Schlumpf Collection is simply amazing!! For me, my favorite part was the large hall with various races cars that have competed in Le Mans over the years. Its such an awesome display of Motorsports in one place. I know the museum has a sister museum across town that has lots of steam locomotive trains. I've never been to that "other" museum. But maybe that might interest some of you guys. You can buy a "combo" ticket to see both museums in a 30 day period. Something to think about. Also... this part of France is fairly desolate(I think)... I've been to Mulhouse a few times... but only for the day... then I pop back into Germany or head onto other points into France. Just FYI. The Schlumpf Museum is realy mind blowing big. Its not my favorite museum, but its very interesting. They must have over 600 cars here. And I would bet about 200 of those are Bugatti's. I think everyone should go see this place at least one. Cité de l'Automobile 15 Rue de l'Épée 68100 Mulhouse France www.citedelautomobile.com/en/home email: groupes@collection-schlumpf.com Museum hours: Mon-Sun: 10:00 am-6:00 pm PLEASE NOTE on the large black sign outside of the museum it says the Museum is closed on Mondays. But their website and FB sites do not say that. Maybe its just the restaurant that is closed on Mondays ??? a little history of the museum and how it all started... http://www.citedelautomobile.com/en/...history-museum Ok, now onto my pictures. Please note that some of my pics came out a little too dark. I was messing around with the photo compensation and got things a little bit off/wrong. My apologies. The Schlumpf Collection... and now for my favorite part of the museum...
