Maserati Museum in Modena.
Does everyone know about this?
So on the big trip - we will have the factory, panini and now this!
This decides it - I'll wait until this is finished in 2011.
Loz - you'll need to go back.

Future System's Maserati Museum is due for completion in 2009. The museum nestles in the grounds of the turn of the century Enzo Ferrari house in Modena, a submerged, soft blue form appearing to grow out of the surrounding landscape. The house being modest in scale has determined the height of the museum. A vast wall of curved, inclined glass draws you into the space, the curved plane bisected by fins inspired by the radiator of a Maserati. North facing roof lights flood the interior volume with diffused white light. Inside the walls and floor of the museum, rectangular in plan, forms a basin, finished in fine white terrazzo. This strong and embracing space provides the perfect environment in which to display the achievement and finesse of the Maserati collection.
The new Ferrari Museum in Modena
Future Systems, a British architecture company began working last week on a museum dedicated to the founder of the Italian car company Ferrari, telegraph.co.uk reported .
After having beaten seven international rivals, Future Systems won the Contract World Award for Ferrari Maserati in 2004. The museum, located in Modena, will feature a curved plane bisected by fins roof inspired by the radiator of a Maserati and it will arc over the house in which the legendary Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898.
It was the modest in scale house that determined the height of the two-storey museum.
The north facing roof glass is to blame for a diffused white light to invade the interior of the building. The rectangular in plan museum will form a basin inside it, finished in white terrazzo.
The museum will show a history of the Italian motor racing legend and car designer by exhibiting vintage Ferraris, Maseratis, car engines and film footage. The building is due to be completed in 2011 and the team behind the project hope it will attract up to 200,000 visitors each year.
The new Enzo Ferrari Museum will come to complete the existing Ferrari Museum at Maranello, that displays 25 automobiles showing the development, technical and stylistic evolution of the Ferrari cars.
