  • I visited this musee and was completely overwhelmed by the quality and selection of engines. The guide was so helpful. It is worth a second visit in the future.

  • Lovely museum with loads of engines, right from the dawn of petrol engines right up to the present. All sorts, car, stationary, train, generators, etc. Lovely team running the museum, explaining the various exhibits and starting engines to demonstrate how the work.
  • Excellent visit. Lovely helpfull people..masses of interesting engines and cars that run for hundreds of kilometers on a single litre of fuel..well worth a visit .
  • The museum gives a bit of a messy vibe and not everything has a sign. But it has a nice introduction to the combustible engine (kid friendly), has engines of all sorts and time, and the owner will start some during the tour which is fun. He speaks a little English and knows a lot!

  • An amazing museum that brings together large, medium and small engines that equipped different machines, various vehicles and other tools. If you didn't know much about mechanics, the first panels are very useful but deserve to be modernized like the whole scenography. Everything is compensated by the warm welcome reserved for you.
