Review:
The Audrain Automobile Museum has a collection of more than 160 of the most remarkable and rarest vehicles in history. These fully restored and functioning vehicles range from the early 20th century to today. The vehicles on display revolve in order to keep the museum content fresh, and the entire collection is never all on display at one time. The vehicles are chosen based on periodically changing themes.
The museum is located in a magnificent historic Audrain Building, one of the original architecturally significant Guided Age structure on Bellevue Avenue. Constructed in 1903 as a commercial building, the edifice was designed by the well-known architect Bruce Price, who took his inspiration from the Florentine Renaissance and created broad arched windows that cover both stories and a white terracotta balustrade on the roofline. The building was completely reconstructed to house the museum, and the historic renovation earned it the Rhody Award for Historic Preservation.
