New Ferrari Museum
Work has begun on the £14m museum, which will sport a wavy yellow roof resembling the hood of a vintage car. The museums roof will be bisected by “gills”, which are inspired by the radiator of the classic Italian sports car. It will bow over the two-storey house in that car designer and motor racing legend Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898.
The museum is being built in the town of Modena by London-based Future Systems and will be dedicated to Ferrari’s life and work and will contain vintage Ferraris, Maseratis, car engines, memorabilia and film footage. Due to be completed in 2011, the hope is that the museum will become an iconic landmark attracting up to 200,000 visitors a year.
