One of the most exciting private museums in Europe, Museo Nicolis in Verona tells the story of twentieth century technology and international design.

Museo Nicolis exhibits the treasures of Made in Italy and international mechanics in an itinerary that, hall after hall, presents valuable and plentiful collections that vary from cars, motorbikes and historical bicycles, to cameras and typewriters, musical instruments and even a few aeroplanes.

Besides being an unmissable stopover for tourists, machine-lovers and the curious, with its absolutely unique exhibits, Museo Nicolis is also a symbol of innovation and development and plays an active role within Museimpresa (Italian Association of Archive and Museum Companies).

The Museum owes its foundation to the enormous passion of Luciano Nicolis for collecting unique technical and mechanical items. A collection that represents the history of life and that obtained its first 6000 square-metre exhibition area when it opened in 2000. A Car, Engineering and Mechanics Museum based on historical technology all housed inside an ultra-modern and entirely accessible building. His treasures are subdivided into eight different collections in order to provide an organized and structured itinerary to suit every visitor.

It houses 10 collections, whose numbers are incredible: 200 cars, 110 bicycles of the great champions, 100 motorbikes, 500 cameras and movie cameras, 100 musical instruments and jukeboxes, 100 typewriters, 100 Formula 1 steering wheels and turing steering wheels but also small airplanes and instruments, a military area with relics of First and Second World War, models of cars, motorbikes and trains, and original works of human talent. On one side of the exhibition building the museum provides a Meeting Center, the “Room of Ideas”, tourist activities, a Documentation Center, a Library and a one of the best stocked Bookstore concerning the motoring world.

The Museo Ferrari in Maranello was opened at the beginning of the 1990s, and focuses on Ferrari’s present and future, whilst remaining deeply rooted in the Prancing Horse’s extraordinary history. “Live the dream” is the motto which greets visitors, promising an engaging, unique experience.

The museum is divided into three areas by theme: the area dedicated to Formula 1 and the successes of a range of world champion drivers; the area dedicated to racing and road cars, updated on a yearly basis, with themed exhibitions which present the most significant cars in the brand’s history in a range of contexts which differ from one show to the next. The third area is the most interactive of the three, and is home to semi-professional Formula 1 simulators, two authentic single-seaters equipped for driving and dedicated to children and a Formula 1 car for visitors who want to take on a real tyre change. Guest can also drop into the Ferrari Store, the restaurant and the café, and finally, an important multi-purpose space for events, conventions and courses aimed at teens and adults, known as the Red Campus.

The museum is further enhanced by a Cinema Room with continuous projection of themed movies, as well as a highly-organized information office (IAT, Tourist Information Office) that can provide useful information to visitors who wish to discover the many opportunities ready to be enjoyed in the Maranello and Motor Valley area.
