An enchanting monastery in the heart of Brescia is used for the Mille Miglia Museum, full of beautiful cars and immortal wheel axles. Mille Miglia Museum was opened to the public on November 10, 2004 and it is dedicated to the legendary car race of Brescia.
The initiative to create a museum dedicated to the Red Arrow has been promoted and realized by the Associazione Museo delle Mille Miglia Città di Brescia, specially composed by some "friends of the Mille Miglia" and by the Automobile Club of Brescia. The museum of the legendary race cars is located inside the Monastery of St. Euphemia, a splendid architectural complex on the outskirts of Brescia.
The museum dedicated to the Mille Miglia was born to let visitors know about an extraordinary sporting event and to show part of history, culture and custom in Italy from 1927 to 1957 with references and presentations of monuments, places and references to cities, provinces and regions crossed by the race in the various editions.
The museum is divided into nine periods, seven dedicated to the Mille Miglia 1927-1957, one to the Mille Miglia 1958-1961 and the last to the contemporary Mille Miglia.
