★★★★★3 months agoa very interesting exhibition, especially for Formula 1 and Michael Schumacher fans. I liked that you can see real items from his career: cars, helmets, and different trophies. Everything feels very close and atmospheric, and you really get a sense of racing history. The place is quite small, but it is well done and presented with a lot of respect for Schumacher. If you are into motorsport, it is definitely worth a visit.
