Trip to Classic Car House Copenhagen to visit the BMW Art Cars

For the last year or so, the BMW Art Cars have been travelling the world on their world tour and for the last couple of months or so, 11 of them have been displayed at Classic Car House in Copenhagen.

This is the largest exhibition of BMW Art Cars ever held in Northern Europe so a must see for me. Especially that 2 of my favourite ones were on display; #15 - Jenny Holzer / BMW V12 LMR / 1999 and #17 - Jeff Koons / BMW M3 GT2 / 2010

The facility itself is set in some stunning grounds.
Classic Car House Copenhagen is much more than a museum though. It is a car hotel, meetings/event place, bistro, dealership and workshop; more photos on some of these later. In total, there are about 350 cars on site. If ever you are in the area, it is definitely worth a visit! Super friendly staff too.

The 11 Art Cars on display here:
#2. Frank Stella / BMW 3.0 CSL / 1976
#3. Roy Lichtenstein / BMW 320 Group 5 / 1977
#4. Andy Warhol / BMW M1 Group 4 / 1979
#7. Michael Jagamara Nelson / BMW M3 Group A / 1989
#10. César Manrique / BMW 730i / 1990
#11. A.R. Penck / BMW Z1 / 1991
#12. Esther Mahlangu / BMW 525i / 1991
#13. Sandro Chia / BMW M3 GTR / 1992
#14. David Hockney / BMW 850 CSi / 1995
#15. Jenny Holzer / BMW V12 LMR / 1999
#17. Jeff Koons / BMW M3 GT2 / 2010


I hope you enjoy the photos!

I thought I would park my i4 next to a fellow BMW friend at the airport car park.



The selected chariot for the flight to Denmark was Scandinavian Airlines System "Una Viking".

They have a huge miniature collection of all 24 Hours of Le Mans winners.














On to the car hotel! One of the coolest things I have ever seen!
I find out that Danish people really like their American classic cars as you will see in the photos below:

This is actually very cool. Wish I had known about this - would have loved to have seen them in person!

The 911 GT1 was it for me.

I was there last November. It was an amazing place. The diversity of the cars there was unmatched. There was a Bugatti exibit when I went. Fantastic. The do an amazing job curating show there. And much has been moved around since I was there, good to know they actually drive the cars. There is actually a fully functional repair shop at the back where you can watch the mechanics work. Pretty cool. Definitely worth the trip if you are in the area.
