Museum Nights in Switzerland and in the EU countries– Tremendous success with
“Historic Shuttle Services”

Long waiting queues showed clearly the enthousiasm of the visitors for the shuttle service by historic cars at the Museum Nights in several European cities, as in Munich, Vienna, Ljubljana, Lucerne, Berne and others. Many guests preferred to test this “Rolling Museum” the whole night long. For most people it is not only the new experience of the first ride in an antique automobile, but also the moment for asking all kind of questions about our hobby. Only few knew before, that we do not get any subsidies, but pay all costs for restoration and maintenance by ourselves. It is an unique opportunity to show what we do for the preservation of our technical heritage. With this PR action we win a lot of appreciation and goodwill by politicians and decision-makers, so that we will achieve over a middle or longer term the unreserved cultural recognition for historic vehicles. – After some years of experience and unchanged success with Museum Night PR actions, we warmly encourage clubs and federations to take contact with their local authorities, with the goal of cooperation. FIVA Office will help you to get the know how and the contact with experienced organizers, if needed. - Many thanks!
