Cars Collections Exhibits Virtual Tour Marconi Public Events

Marconi Automotive Museum has been dedicated to being an integral part of growth in Orange County for almost 30 years. The museum was founded by Dick and John Marconi. The building was originally purchased to house the race team when John and Dick were racing full time. After years of collecting exotic, rare, and classic cars, they decided to donate their multimillion-dollar car collection to the Marconi Foundation for Kids. For almost 30 years, the Marconi Automotive Museum has been used as an event facility and educational center to generate funds for children's charities and organizations throughout Orange County. The Marconi collection is home to over 100 vehicles and one of the largest Ferrari collections in North America, as well as Formula 1, Indy, and Vintage race cars. The museum has something for everyone. Visitors are allowed to get up close to the cars because none are roped off like other museums. The museum has plenty of parking. They have professional staff who are happy to answer any questions you have.
