The Audrain Automobile Museum, located at 222 Bellevue Avenue, Newport was established in the fall of 2014 with the mission of becoming one of the most highly regarded automotive museums in New England.
A car museum is quintessential Americana, nothing less than an ode to the nations love affair with the automobile. The most fervid moments are fully captured at the Audrain Automobile Museum in Newport.
The automobile collections on display include some of the rarest and most remarkable vehicles in history, ranging from the beginning of the 20th century to modern day. The entire collection is never on display at any one time. Each temporary exhibition features 15-20 cars. This allows visitors and members to enjoy a new experience every 3-4 months as the theme of each installation is changed.
Now exhibiting the "Supercar, basically that is the car that has one purpose, and that is to go insanely fast! It is not meant to go to the food store, it's meant to hold two people and go really fast and make a statement when you show up at your destination," sums up Matthew Newton, the museum's at large curator.
