TRANSFORMATION - THE CREATION OF THE NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM

marking the 50th Anniversary 1972-2022

presented by Ken Robinson

at the National Motor Museum Theatre, Friday 1st July 2022 6:30pm (doors open 6pm)

The outstanding success of the Montagu Motor Museum in its first 20 years up to 1972, also created problems - which the plan to create The New Beaulieu Museum Complex was designed to resolve.  The ambitious plan met local resistance, but Lord Montagu was determined to found a new Charitable Trust for the collection, and to proceed.  Former Managing Director Ken Robinson joined Lord Montagu at Beaulieu in 1969 and was involved in all aspects of replanning, building and fulfilling Lord Montagu's vision to transform his Museum into the National Motor Museum.

This is a special presentation for BHS members that has been prepared primarily for Beaulieu and National Motor Museum staff as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations.

Admission free to members. Guests and non-members £5. No booking required.
