The Weekly 3
The Automotive Museum Guide shows you where automotive museums are all over the world. If you want to see them, click HERE. There are even maps you can see for each continent to make it easy for people to find automotive museums to visit no matter where they are in the world.
I know there are people who have subscribed to this email that do not live in North America, and I’m sorry I can’t showcase museums in other parts of the world like I do in the USA. I can only do so much, and my focus is sharing museums you can drive to in North America.
Sometimes a slip a Canadian museum in an email, but in reality the couple of fantastic museums in Alaska would be the longest treks for anyone driving from the south.
Hopefully, those who receive this email that live outside the states still find value in learning about what museums we have to offer. I have personally met with multiple international visitors at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, so I know people are always looking for places to explore.
On the flip side, most of us are in the USA, and most automotive museums focus on American automotive history. However, there are museums you can visit in the USA that will show you more than just American-made.
The Brumos Collection is a newer museum, and it’s awesome. It’s not huge, but it is done so well, that it is a perfect example to demonstrate why bigger isn’t always better.
I would say the majority of the vehicles on display are German, but you’ll also see some amazing French cars and even an American Duesenberg.
If British cars are your cup of tea, The British Transportation Museum in Ohio, of all places, is where you want to go. You’re either going to have no idea what you’re looking at, or be stoked to see one in person, which, by the way, is how I judge museums personally. 😉
There are many more museums within the USA that share a lot of foreign automotive history than what I’m mentioning here. This is just a taste. Lane Motor Museum and the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum are two bonuses for you, and also two of my favorites.
The Z Motorsports Collection is the last one I’ll mention. This is a private collection of sports cars from the 60s to modern years, many from Japan, Italy and Germany. The museum is free to visit, but you’ll need to go sometime between May and October.

From Tesla to Offroad Passion
The odds are you have some sort of automotive passion running through your veins. You do not need to start a museum, but visiting automotive museum will help feed your passion.
From Collections like Jay Leno’s to Truck Stops and Jurassic Parks
There is always the option to just display a bunch of cars in a room, but that can be boring, and will probably be difficult to keep people visiting overtime.
Detroit, Guns and Growth in a Good Way
I can only imagine the logistics and behind-the-scenes work necessary to keep such large museums operating smoothly. I suppose I was lucky being able to create a museum with only one car
