Alfa Romeo Museum, Automotive museum in Arese, Italy
Description
The Alfa Romeo Museum displays automobiles spanning over a century of the company's history, from early models to contemporary designs. The collection spreads across multiple levels and includes racing cars, production vehicles, and experimental prototypes.
History
The museum opened in 1976 and occupies a former factory building where vehicle assembly continued until 2002 and engine manufacturing until 2006. This location connects the site's industrial past with its current role in preserving the company's heritage.
