70th anniversary of Porsche : the National Automobile Museum invites Régis Mathieu

What connects luxury chandeliers to vintage Porsche cars ? The passion of a man, Régis Mathieu, who has acquired over his life thirty exceptional models of the Stuttgart brand. Car connoisseurs will have the opportunity to admire them under unique light fixtures, new pieces freshly produced by an artist who considers automobile as an art.

In that exclusive place, Porsche models are majestically staged, in a former wool manufacture transformed by the Schlumpf brothers into a museum located in the heart of the Alsatian city of Mulhouse. Those industrialists have turned their factory into the finest and largest place in the world devoted to automobiles, extending over 25000 m2. Administered by the Fondation Culturespaces, this national museum welcomes each year a total of over 200 000 visitors.
