Uusikaupunki Automobile Museum

Uusikaupunki Automobile Museum (Finnish: Uudenkaupungin automuseo; Swedish: Nystads bilmuseum) is a vehicle museum located next to the Valmet Automotive factory in Uusikaupunki, Southwest Finland.

Its collections include about a hundred cars, a selection of mopeds, a few motorcycles and even two airplanes.

[1] The museum has three exhibition halls and is open all year round.

The initiative to establish a car museum in Uusikaupunki was made in 1982 by Juhani Linnoinen [fi], the then CEO of Oy Saab-Valmet Ab (today Valmet Automotive), justifying the matter by Uusikaupunki's status as an "automotive industry city".

The Uusikaupunki town council made a decision to establish the museum in January 1983, and the museum was opened to the public at the beginning of February 1984.
