Lane Motor Museum, Automotive museum in Nashville, United States
Lane Motor Museum is an automotive museum in Nashville housing over 500 vehicles, including European cars, micro cars, military vehicles, and experimental prototypes. The collection spans multiple exhibition halls and features a wide range of vehicle types from different periods and countries of origin.
The museum was founded in 2002 and converted a former bakery building into its exhibition space. This transformation created an important repository for European and rare automobiles in the region.
The collection showcases vehicles from different countries, revealing how each region developed its own approach to car design as you walk through the museum. You notice design choices and engineering solutions that reflect local needs and values from around the world.
The museum offers guided tours on Saturdays that provide detailed information about selected vehicles in the collection. Plan to spend several hours exploring all exhibition areas, as the collection is extensive and covers multiple halls.
The collection holds the largest assembly of European cars and motorcycles in North America, with numerous rare vehicles from Czechoslovakia, particularly Tatra models. These vehicles have largely disappeared from their home countries but form a significant portion of what you see here.
