Museo del Automóvil - Colección Nicolini
About This Museum
Tucked away in the upscale La Molina district, the Museo del Automóvil feels like stepping into a private, world-class garage. It’s an intimate and passionate showcase of automotive history, far from the sterile feel of a typical museum. You don't just see these machines; you feel the stories and the meticulous care behind each gleaming fender and polished grille. The air itself smells of aged leather and motor oil, creating an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and thrilling for anyone who appreciates mechanical artistry.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection beats with European elegance, featuring stunning pre-war Rolls-Royces and majestic Hispano-Suizas that look ready to glide down a grand boulevard. A vibrant 1929 Bugatti Type 40 stands out with its bold blue hue, while a formidable 1915 Packard Twin Six reminds you of the raw power from a bygone era.
