The experience
The museum occupies the actual Art Deco offices, engineering department and design department where Auburn Automobile Company leadership worked in the 1930s. Walking through those spaces (the original desks, the hallways where designers sketched legendary cars) you're not just looking at vehicles in a generic gallery. The building itself is the story. Over 120 cars span from the 1890s to today, arranged across three floors so the collection unfolds as you move through the structure. Classic, antique, vintage and special-interest vehicles fill the space, each one positioned in rooms that still carry the weight of the company's industrial past.
The museum is wheelchair accessible throughout, with all areas and surfaces designed for easy navigation. Strollers and prams work for infants and small children. Changing tables are in all restrooms. Service animals are welcome. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're arriving without a car. Plan for around three hours to move through the collection at a comfortable pace, though you can spend less time if you focus on particular eras or models.
