The Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile di Torino (National Automobile Museum), known as MAUTO, is an automobile museum in Turin, Italy, founded by Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia. The museum has a collection of almost 200 cars[2] among eighty automobile brands representing eight countries (Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, United States of America, Poland).[3] The museum is situated in a building dating from 1960, and it has three floors. After restructuring in 2011 the museum is open again, and its exhibition area has been expanded from 11,000 square metres (120,000 sq ft) to 19,000 square metres (200,000 sq ft).[4] The museum also has its own library, documentation centre, bookshop and auditorium.[5]

Se Firenze, a buon diritto, aduna nei suoi musei le più alte espressioni artistiche del Rinascimento italiano, è logico e giusto che a Torino sia sorto il Museo dell'Automobile inaugurato stamane.
