Verona's Nicolis Museum is one of the most important private museums in Europe with its large collection of old cars, motorcycles, bicycles, cameras, musical instruments, motors, planes and other inventions of the sort. It is perhaps most known for its rare collection of Formula 1 steering wheels. This is no traditional museum but rather a modern space for culture and ideas, open to the digital, information and business worlds.
Founded in 2000 by Luciano Nicolis - a businessman passionate about old cars - this automobile, technical and mechanical museum has become one of the most important and beautiful museums dedicated to cars today. The museum boasts an extensive collection of precious and impossible to find today car-related objects collected all around the world by Nicolis - motivated by his great interests in cars and mechanics. There are 8 collections totaling over 1,000 objects that tell the story of how man has overcome the challenge of distance in both time and space. The objects on display are divided into eight themed categories: automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, musical instruments, cameras, typewriters/computers, motors, racecars and military objects. Among the most rare pieces, you will find the first motorcycle to run on gas from 1882.

Beautiful museum; the fact that everything inside is functional adds value to something that already exceeds all expectations. The guide was truly excellent, with excellent explanations and a lot of historical connections that took the mind back in time, to a truly fascinating era. A beautiful experience.
History and passion for engines, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles; a truly must-visit era, in my opinion one of the most beautiful in Europe... a lot of Italian spirit from its ingenuity to its design.
Great to arrive after lunch on way to Verona and there's hardly any other customers there. Toured at our own pace w/out guide. It was 78°F outside & every floor of museo was getting stifling hot. On the hospitality level, the doors are open to terrace letting in more heat. Soon arrived a school group of teenagers via motorcoach. They weren't there to view the collection or learn anything. They were only there to sprawl on the few chairs in the bldg, stare at their phones, & use the vending machine. Museo should require guides with school groups AND keep the indoors at a comfortable cool temp.
History, culture, technique, invention, mechanics and a lot of passion in one place, the past and the present intertwine in this wonderful place, not to be missed
That's exactly right. Thank you for visiting.
Chosen almost by chance to avoid a rainy morning, the Nicolis Museum turned out to be an absolutely amazing set-up capable of captivating a little all age groups given the large amount of cars, motorcycles, vintage objects and various memorabilia for a dip in recent history. Do not miss, congratulations!!!

It's also very interesting to show schools. The transition to our industrial activity and the inventions and innovations that have followed one another since the mid-1800s is very clear.

It exceeded our expectations. It was very clean. I like that all the cars were fully restored, and although there were a lot of old cars, there were some newer cars as well. Dashboard Diva was with me!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, the fully restored vehicles, and the mix of classic and more recent models.
