With 45,000 books, magazines, and repair manuals dating back to 1901, the library offers a vast resource for automotive enthusiasts and researchers. The redesign introduces cozy study nooks and windows overlooking exhibitions, creating an inviting atmosphere for visitors to immerse themselves in automotive history. The renovated library aims to foster curiosity and community engagement, making it a central hub for learning and exploration within the museum while reinforcing the institution’s commitment to education and the celebration of automotive heritage.
