Vote 10 for the immense artistic and cultural heritage inside the museum - On the advice of the hotelier located in Valpolicella, I visited the Museum. With wonder and amazement I found an automotive heritage and more, which made my children wide open despite the ages of 4 and 9. In fact, they came out of the museum excited to have been catapulted into the past.
Rating 10 for Mr. NICOLIS and family who have created a jewel for Italy and Italians.
Ps. It should also be more advertised on TV. All of Italy and Italians need to know that there is a Museum that makes you experience the history of the car and beyond, in a well-kept stage.

Interesting and convenient, just off the highway and near the airport - Nice well kept museum. Full of pieces to see and not only lots of cars, motorcycles and bicycles but also gramophones, cameras and much more. The guy at reception who gave us a brief introduction was very kind.
Perhaps the price is not really affordable for everyone and I would recommend evaluating slightly lower ranges because otherwise it would be a shame not to let everyone enjoy it. Of course the costs will be high given that there wasn't a speck of dust on the cars. You can easily spend a couple of hours there if not more, stopping carefully. Ideal for those who don't want to enter the center of Verona but perhaps have a flight to catch a few hours later.
Parking ok. Accessibility ok.

Beautiful experience - I have always been a motor enthusiast, but I am also a person who appreciates beautiful and well-finished things. I went to the Nicolis museum with a friend without telling him where we were going to surprise him for his birthday and we were struck by the beauty, the order and from the kindness of the staff in a few words I think it is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life.

A work of art - Beautiful museum where details and care make the difference, more than a museum it is a dive into the past where even non-enthusiasts are amazed, congratulations indeed.

Absolutely fantastic - I can only strongly advise anyone who is on holiday in Italy to plan a visit to the Museo Nicolis. I was speechless at the collection of everything to do with technology and mobility that can be seen there. An absolute must for every car/motorcycle and technology fan. All for an unbelievably cheap 14 euros entrance fee when you consider the millions of dollars worth of items that can be admired there. I would like to point out that the staff are really nice and friendly.

Top attraction! - A must for anyone interested in technology. Lots of perfectly restored vintage cars, bicycles, and motorcycles. The calculators and typewriters section is nice, but a bit sparse. There are no real rarities, which is a shame.

Highly recommended.. is definitely worth a trip or an excursion. - A great journey into the past and first-class vehicles and machines..pure history😀.
Great vehicles and remarkable technology for those times. You would love to take a ride in an Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A from 1929...
The weapons collection confused me a little (even though it is not very large and is historical, in my opinion it does not fit into the great, but predominantly historical vehicle world).
