Museum of Automotive History
About This Museum
What truly sets this place apart is its soulful focus on the story of the automobile, not just the machines themselves. Tucked away in the historic heart of Salamanca, it feels more like a curated journey than a simple display. Since opening its doors in 2002, it has gathered over a century of engineering and design evolution under one roof. You'll find everything from elegant early horseless carriages to the quirky microcars that puttered through post-war Europe.
Collection Highlights
The collection breathes with over 100 vehicles, including rare Spanish-made Pegasos and a stunning Hispano-Suiza that embodies pure art deco luxury. It's not just about the cars, though; vintage gas pumps, delicate hood ornaments, and weathered travel posters fill the spaces between, creating a rich tapestry of motoring culture.
