Famous cars from all over the world are on display in excellent condition. The cars are mainly from the 1920s to the 1980s, but they were very impressive. The museum shop also sells many elaborate model cars. If you're a car enthusiast, this is a place you should visit at least once.

An amazing museum with collection of cars from around the world-not just Toyota. Really a history of the automobile, with many rare examples. Highlight is the collection of artifacts, we ended up spending an hour just browsing. If you like cars or car culture a must-see destination. Good curry in the restaurant too!
