National Motor Museum Trust fundraising will now begin to match the grant with its own contribution towards the Motoring into the Future project – to transform the museum entrance and initial exhibition areas, for a more engaging and interactive start to its visitor journey. As phase one of a four-phase scheme, the ambitious new plans set out the future of the National Motor Museum which recently celebrated its landmark 50th anniversary. National Motor Museum Trust Chief Executive Jon Murden said: “This is exciting news and I am glad that we are on our way to a bright new future for the National Motor Museum. This major grant will enable us to start the first phase of our planned works this year. It is the first step on a long road, with bold plans to raise £15-20 million over the next seven years to fully realise our ambitions. We must improve our museum spaces, equipment and interpretation for younger visitors, as well as upgrade facilities for the conservation and restoration of our 285 display vehicles. We also plan to open up our internationally-acclaimed stored collections of more than 1.9 million items of automobilia, and make them accessible for everyone to see. The world of motoring is rapidly changing and we must keep pace to tell its story.” Phase one of the project will transform the entrance gallery into a new welcome area, where visitors can learn about the museum’s foundation. Two further galleries will be combined into a large exhibition space to tell the remarkable story of motoring from its beginnings to its present and future, as well as the shared experience of its impact on all of our lives. emed galleries will remain on the lower and raised mezzanine oors.
