Brooklands Museum, Transport museum in Weybridge, England.
Brooklands Museum is a transport museum in Weybridge, England, presenting automobiles, motorcycles and aircraft on the site of the former racing circuit. The exhibitions are spread across several halls and outdoor areas where historic vehicles stand beside restored aircraft.
The museum opened in 1991 and uses the grounds of the Brooklands circuit built in 1907, recognized as the first purpose-built motor racing venue worldwide. In the following decades the site evolved into a center for aerospace industry before the collection was established here.
The collection shows British vehicles and aircraft from different decades of the 20th century, including historic racing cars and military machines. Visitors can often experience demonstrations on weekends when engines are started or cockpits are made accessible.
Admission is organized through different rates depending on age and group size, with annual passes available for regular visits. The outdoor areas with vehicles and aircraft are accessible in any weather while the halls allow sheltered exploration.
Parts of the original concrete banking are still walkable today and show the characteristic slope that allowed racing cars high speeds in the early 20th century. The material and construction of the track can be examined up close.
