The exhibits prove, that Italians still have best artist. These cars are not only a tribute to speed but also icons of best design.Fascinating cars inside the museum and on the street in front of factory during test drives.
My wife and I drove over from Piza. I have always wanted to go here. it is out in the country and a few times doubted the GPS but we made it and it was awesome. The collection of cars (and trucks) was more than I expected. Plan on some time here as if you want to read about each car it will be a couple of hours. Nice big gift shop also. Across the street is a nice cafe where you can sit and have a beer and snack and even rent a Lamborghini if you have enough money.. I don't remember the exact amount but I want to say it was something like US$500-$800 for 45 min.
Factory closed for tours during our visit. Therefore we could only view the small showroom of cars. Small information on the cars but no other media like videos.
The museum was amazing! The bottom floor had approx 20 production models and the top floor had approx. 10 prototypes. 13 Euro each to enter and SO easy to get to. From Bologna, take the 576 bus and get off at Sant"Agata Bolognese. Walk to the traffic lights and turn RIGHT, and you will see it. A great day out!
Excellent combination of museum and factory tour. Cars are well displayed and they have a shop adjacent to the main showroom. You also get a free show of the new Lamborghini's being road tested outside.
This museum had been the top of my husband's wish list when we planned our trip to Italy and he wasn't disappointed. Our research prepared us for the fact that it was quite small and that it would be a "look, don't touch" kind of place so we weren't surprised (after all, think of the value of the exhibits! What my husband appreciated most were the moments when the new cars were being driven around the complex as this made the experience come alive - the sound of those engines have to be heard. I, personally, am not a car enthusiast, but appreciated the leather seating areas, and the huge smile on my husband's face made it a good experience for me. The bull bar restaurant mentioned in other reviews was closed for the holidays so we went a few minutes down the road to a tiny non tourist bar where we had two coffees and two large pastries for only 5 euros - bargain of the holiday!
The Lamborghini museum in Sant'Agata is an unforgettable experience. As a kid my first love was the mighty Countach and it still is today. Chalk it up to the brand's rarity or just dumb luck, I have never been in the presence of these mighty vehicles until now. The experience is surreal and is a must-see for any car lover.Compared to its neighbor down the road in Maranello, the Lamborghini complex gives off a totally different vibe. Whereas the Ferrari museum is a pure marketing machine bombarding the visual senses with liberal doses of red and yellow, the Lamborghini museum takes a more business-like approach. There are no flashy splashes of color. You could drive by and not even notice it were it not for the famous bull logo by the entrance. Ferrari has full color murals, interactive displays, large LED TVs playing videos on loop, and driving simulators. The beauty of Lamborghini is that the cars themselves are the attraction. Your attention is drawn to these works of art, and everything else around is devoid of sensory stimulation. Ferrari is situated within an industrial area of Maranello. Lamborghini is in the middle of the Italian countryside. A fancy minibus shuttles you from Modena to Maranello. Unless you have your own wheels, you're stuck with taking a one-hour city bus to Sant'Agata from Bologna. It's these stark differences that give Lamborghini that unique appeal for me.The most important observation that differentiates the two museums is that Lamborghini manufactures significantly fewer models than Ferrari. It is because of this fact that Lamborghini is able to display one sample of nearly every model ever made. So yes you can expect to see the Muria, Countach, Diablo, Murcialago, Reventon, Gallardo, Sesto Elemento, Estoque, Aventador, and Huracan. Yet the highlight of the trip was outside of the museum when they closed for the lunch hour. It was a drizzly day in Sant'Agata when not one, but two Huracans clad in partial camo drove out of the factory right past us for some test drives. I snapped up a series of photos in paparazzi fashion.I have only a couple of gripes about the museum. A few of the cars had mud on their tires. Clean that up and apply some tire polish for crying out loud! Also considering the trouble visitors have to go through in getting there as well as the outrageous prices at the souvenir shop, it would be nice if they gave away even the smallest freebie with your paid admission. I'm still proud of my free lanyard from the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart. Despite these the museum is fantastic and a total dream come true.
I will start by stating that I am an automotive design student, so this was magical for me to see these works of art in person. The Cars are essentially in a showroom format and you can walk around freely and take as many photos as you want. It is a smaller collection of cars, but they do have concept cars that exist nowhere else in the world.Very much worth the trip if you enjoy cars.
Even my wife liked it! We drove down from Verona as this was one of the highlights (for me) of our vacation. Very impressive. Parking is a few hundred meters from the museum entrance. A nice gentleman will flag you down and let you know where to park if you pull into the museum. Across the street is the Bull Bar... Something about test drives :)~
Lamborghini factory museum hosts a collection of some amazing cars, from Miura, through Countach and Diablo to Reventon, which provide magnificent sights, yet there are many models that you know and just can't find there, so for me it was not enough. Also, the descriptions of the cars and the company's story could be broadened. The good side is, the descriptions are available in English, German and Italian. The car park is big and the souvenir shop well stocked. However, if you'd like to really feel the story and know the person behind this great car brand, you should visit Museo Ferruccio Lamborghini in Funo.
