A journey through history that shows how the automobile has influenced fashion, society, art, scientific research and technological achievements in a constant drive toward innovation.
The Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile is a benchmark institution for automotive culture, a place for debate and experimentation that, starting from the enhancement of its preserved heritage, creates original content capable of speaking the languages of the contemporary culture. Drawing on a wide variety of contributions and materials, the museum’s new catalogue reflects its complexity: from the technical specifications of the masterpieces in the collection to a selection of archival documents that reconstruct their histories, from newly commissioned artworks to research projects showcased in immersive and interactive environments. The volume is completed by an extensive iconographic section, highlighting the sculptural power of the automobiles, along with textual contributions by the curators, who reinterpret the museum’s heritage from a cross-disciplinary and contemporary perspective.
