The 1949 Berlinetta 2+2, one of the oldest cars in the museum and one of the few non-red cars in the whole place. There were other productions cars to drool over, but not a huge number. There were a few dozen cars in the museum, but they represented the different eras of Ferrari history. There were pictures, videos and models of the Ferrari factory production. One section of the museum, on the upper level, was dedicated to Enzo Ferrari's life, this included pictures and memorabilia associated with him. In one section of the museum a glass cased pictorial wall told the story of the company's colorful race history with hundreds of pictures and mementos in glass cases. Pictures of the drivers, race cards, clippings, helmets, driving suits and other memorabilia were displayed along one long wall. Finishing up in the museum lead back to the gift shop and the small shop held many exquisite pieces as you might realize. No bargains here, but some exclusive pieces and designs. It was very hard for me to resist the red leather luggage. If there is anything better than leather luggage, it would have to be RED leather luggage. But a look at the price tag told me that perhaps if I could afford a Ferrari, then I would be able to afford the luggage to go with it.

The factory, museum and test grounds are located in the outskirts of Modena. The museum was designed with lots of red metal, natural light and open spaces. Entering is done through the gift shop, and then down a few steps to the production car area.
