Club Silencio is heading to the National Automobile Museum for an extraordinary evening opening dedicated to Turin’s motoring heritage, featuring icons from the worlds of motorsport, design and great animated cinema.
The MAUTO opens the doors to its permanent collection through a spectacular tour spanning three floors and featuring over 200 original cars from 80 different brands, tracing the evolution of transport from steam-powered carriages to the speed icons of the 20th century.
The visitor experience will be enhanced by a number of special events. The full-scale replica of Lightning McQueen celebrates the twentieth anniversary of *Cars – Roaring Engines* with a striking display. Accompanying this are drawing workshops in collaboration with a Disney illustrator: participants will have the chance to learn how to draw Lightning McQueen and even become car designers for an evening (limited places – first come, first served).
Three temporary exhibitions round off the exhibition: Aldo Brovarone. Pininfarina’s Pencil, which tells the story of the designer of legendary cars and brings the Dino Berlinetta Speciale back to Italy after 61 years; Gerald Laing. Full Speed, where Pop Art and speed converge in the British artist’s explosive colours; Limited Edition. Moving Landscapes in Photography, which, through a series of images, explores the relationship between the car, the city and the landscape across more than seventy years of photography.
During the evening, you’ll be able to explore some extraordinary exhibition spaces and let yourself be swept away by the musical selection from Benzina Collective, a Turin-based motoring collective with an urban sound. Finally, there’ll be a food corner and a lounge bar by Club Silencio.
