Automobiles in the museum

The Toyota Automobile Museum (トヨタ博物館, Toyota Hakubutsukan) is a large museum showcasing the history of Toyota as an automobile manufacturer. In addition to displaying its own vehicles that Toyota has manufactured over the years, numerous vehicles from other manufacturers of various makes are also being displayed in the museum. It is a large complex located in Nagakute city, a city close to Nagoya, Japan.[1]

Collection

Unlike the Toyota USA Automobile Museum, the museum in Nagoya also features many cars from other manufacturers, as well as artwork. The reserve collection includes some exceptional examples such as the 1922 Grand Prix Sunbeam.

The museum should not be confused with the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, also located in Nagoya.
