The Bugatti Trust Museum & Study Centre

The Bugatti Trust is a charity based at Prescott Hill, a short drive from Cheltenham, and it runs a museum and study centre devoted to the engineer Ettore Bugatti and his family. The permanent display uses photographs, models, diagrams, engine parts and complete vintage cars to tell the story of the marque, and it also covers the artistic side of the family, including painters and sculptors. A changing main exhibition each year looks at one part of the story in depth. The collection includes a large set of original factory technical drawings, which suits older children and teenagers interested in engineering, design or motor history. Younger visitors tend to enjoy the cars and the engines, while the Trust's regular programme of school talks, STEM racing and robotics support links the site with classrooms. Visits are small and personal, so it works best as a relaxed outing for curious families rather than a large attraction.
