Symbol of Speed, lnnovation and Legend, Formule 1 invites ltself to the "Musée National de l’Automobile – Collection Schlumpf" in Mulhouse, as Part of a Major Exhibition... This is an Independent Exhibition, not affiliated with the Formula 1 Brand.

Born in 1950, Formule 1 is both a Sports Championship, a Technological Laboratory and a Popular Myth Worldwide. It embodies more than 70 Years of Mechanical, Aerodynamic and Human lnnovations that have profoundly marked the History of the Automobile and our Relationship with Performance, Speed and Technology.

From April 11 to November 1, 2026, you can discover the Exhibition 'Formule 1' at the National Automobile Museum (Mulhouse). The Exhibition presents around Fifty lconic Single-Seaters, covering the Entire History of Formule 1, from its Origins to Contemporary Years.

"The National Automobile Museum - Schlumpf Collection", which houses One of the World's Most lmportant Automobile Collections, is a Naturally Legitimate Place to tell this Story. "The Formula 1 Exhibition" follows in this Tradition: it is not limited to a Succession of Spectacular Cars, but offers a Historical, Technical, Cultural, and Human Perspective on the Discipline.

Unlike Other Traveling Exhibitions, this Exhibition is designed specifically for Mulhouse, based on a Dialogue between Major lnstitutional Collections, Manufacturers, lnternational Museums, and Historical Archives.

- Presentation of The Museum

The National Automobile Museum – Schlumpf Collection hosts the Largest Automobile Collection in the World, bringing Together over 600 Outstanding Vehicles and Emblematic Models built by Major Automotive Manufacturers that revolutionised our Lifestyles: Bugatti, Panhard, Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Citroën, etc.

Established in 1982 in an Old Worsted Spinning Mill, the Museum has a Display Area of over 20,000 m2 showcasing the Development of the Automotive lndustry, thanks to the Historic Collections belonging to the Schlumpf Brothers, which have been enhanced with New Models over the Years. From its lnception, 426 ltems in the Collection have been listed as Historic Monuments. In 2002, the Museum achieved Status as a Museum of France, making the Collection lnalienable Once and for All.

In 2022, the National Automobile Museum - Schlumpf Collection made a 180-Degree Turn by changing its Name, its Management and undertaking New Strategic Policies.

Created in 1981 in parallel with the Museum, the "Association de Gestion du Musée National de l'Automobile", chaired by Bruno Fuchs and directed by Guillaume Gasser, took over the Operation of the Site on 1 January 2022, which had been run by Culturespaces since 1999. The Association wished to return to the Origins of the Place by giving the Museum its Original Name: "The National Automobile Museum - Schlumpf Collection" succeeds "The Cité de l'Automobile", named as such since 2006. This Anniversary Year also marked a Turning Point for the Museum, which is preparing a Major Restructuring Project, both in terms of its Management and its Tour and Programme.

For Several Years, the Association has been working on a Major Modernisation Project in order to better showcase the Museum’s Outstanding Collection. The Scientific Manager Elia Saunier is in charge of preparing the Future Scientific and Cultural Project of the Museum, for the Period 2025-2027.

Consequently, a Partnership Agreement was signed with "The Alsace Chamber of Trades" to provide Training leading to the Professional Qualification Certificate for Mechanics who Repair Vintage and Historic Vehicles. The Museum is committing ltself to hosting Learners and Apprentices at its Restoration Workshops and making Several Vehicles available Free of Charge, under the Supervision of the Workshop Manager.

The Reception of the Public has also been rethought in order to bring more Life to the Museum. Several Areas, inaugurated in 2022, are Now Accessible without going through the Ticket Office: a Refurbished Souvenirs & Book Shop, a Completely Redecorated Cosy Bar, the Gatsby Bar, and a New Restaurant specialising in Traditional
French Cuisine, L'Atalante. Finally, the Temporary Exhibition Area has been redesigned and expanded from 1000 to 1300 m2.
