About Museo Automovilístico y de la Moda
One of Spain's most unusual museums, housing an extraordinary collection of vintage and classic cars displayed alongside iconic haute couture garments from the same decades, in an innovative curatorial concept that draws parallels between the design aesthetics of automobiles and fashion in the 20th century.
The Museo Automovilístico y de la Moda is one of the most unusual and enjoyable museums in Spain, a private collection of vintage and classic cars displayed alongside haute couture garments from the same eras, exploring the parallel aesthetic development of automotive design and fashion through the 20th century. The collection includes approximately 90 cars and 200 fashion pieces, from a 1898 Panhard et Levassor to Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, and a Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, displayed alongside Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, and other couture houses. The museum is housed in a converted tobacco factory near the port.
Did you know? The Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic shown in the Museo Automovilístico represents one of the rarest cars ever made: only four were built (1936-1938), and of which just three survive today, the fourth having vanished during the Second World War. The Atlantic is considered by many automotive historians to be the most beautiful car ever created. The car's distinctive feature is the dorsal rivet seam running over the roof and down the tail, a necessity of the body construction technique that became the car's most iconic design element. Each of the four Atlantics was unique.
