The importance of this huge collection is contained only in the value of these antiques but goes beyond the object as such to intrude into the history of societies, nations and cultures that have passed through these two important centuries. The cars on display in the 30 new sections designed by the designer François Confino are in fact fully deployed within the social context in which they originated, meaning that the objects of our daily life, self, in particular, are real mirrors our tastes, habits and ideas. The cars are placed before the spectator as emblems of a world that has never ceased to change and evolve and change which are reflected in changes and experiments in all sectors, from industry to science, from art to literature. They are also a historical memory of what we were and what we are becoming: from the 1957 Fiat 500 Volkswagen Type 1 1952.
