Some of the very niche automotive museums you can visit may have it a little more difficult to capture a broader interest. Or perhaps because they are so niche, they have the ability to be hyper-focused on what they specialize in.

I would argue that sometimes a car museum is just a car museum, but the best are all 3.

If you need an excuse to ride or drive somewhere, just open up the MAP and find a museum to visit.

Visit as many museums as you can. Volunteer if possible. Become an advocate. If you have a collection or even just one car or priceless knowledge, share it.

It’s funny how often I get asked why I do the things I do. Why did I start Miles Through Time Automotive Museum?

Today, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum leases just shy of 50,000 square feet inside a 275,000-square foot textile mill.

When it comes to iconic American roadtrips, Route 66 is the highway most people think of.

If you read nothing beyond this first paragraph, do just this one thing. Scroll all the way to the bottom of this email, where you should see three sections.

Unfortunately, museum founders passing away is inevitable. What happens next can sometimes be very disappointing.

This week, I’ve got three automotive museums to share with you that are all incredibly different from each other.

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.

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.

The Automotive Museum Guide shows you where automotive museums are all over the world.

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
