Origin and history

The Musée de l'automobile à Menetou-Salon is a monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the region Centre-Val de Loire. This place is specifically dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the automobile heritage, although its exact period of creation or activity is not specified in the available sources. Menetou-Salon, like many small French communes, was able to experience an evolution linked to the industrial and technological transformations of the 20th century.

Specialized museums, such as automobile museums, often play a key role in the transmission of collective memory and in the cultural attractiveness of rural areas. These spaces allow to preserve objects and know-how that otherwise could disappear over time.
