Métamorphosé, le M24-Musée du Sport Automobile ouvre ses portes à quelques semaines de la compétition

The M24, formerly the Musée des 24 Heures du Mans, has reopened as a transformed 8,600-square-meter museum dedicated to motorsport history. Featuring legendary race cars like the Tracta Gephi (1928) and the Porsche 917 LH (1971), the museum includes human-scale dioramas, historical walks, and artistic homages with abstract murals reminiscent of Pierre Soulages. The renovation was led by local architect Frédéric Audevard, who redesigned the original 1960s building and added a new extension with subtle references to car aerodynamics. The immersive scenography was created by Raphaël Daguet of The Immersers, aiming to evoke emotional and historical capsules around racing culture. The museum opened just weeks before the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, scheduled for June 10–14, 2026.
