L'Aventure Michelin, Automobile museum in Clermont-Ferrand, France
This 2000-square-meter museum presents the technological progress and industrial achievements of the Michelin company through interactive displays and historical objects.
The museum opened its doors in January 2009 and reached a milestone of 100,000 visitors by 2019, marking its position as a major industrial heritage site.
The exhibits showcase the evolution of mobility, from the first detachable tire in 1891 to modern innovations, including the development of maps and travel guides.
The facility operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with adult tickets at 12 euros and children aged 7-17 at 8 euros.
The museum features the experimental 11-wheeled Citroën DS testing vehicle named Mille Pattes, which Michelin used for tire development in the 1970s.
