National Car Museum: The Loh Collection

The Nationales Automuseum in central Germany is one of the most comprehensive collections of cars in the world. It incorporates more than 50 brands and 150 cars across a span of more than 130 years, from rare prototypes, concept cars and racing cars to iconic sportscars, famous classics and everyday vehicles. The collection was created by the industrial entrepreneur Dr Friedhelm Loh and opened to the public in 2023. The museum is a university campus for courses in car design and conservation. The facilities include a cinema, a gallery devoted to engines, a technical centre and spaces for changing exhibitions. The main building was part of the workshops of the boiler manufacturer Omnical and displays introduce local industrial history. A curving ramp is a centrepiece to display competition cars and parking racks show a changing selection of cars in a multi-storey display.
