Stellantis’ Heritage Hub has expanded its public hours to cover six of the seven days of the week. The Turin museum will now be open from Tuesday to Thursday for visitors to freely roam the premises, while Friday and the weekend will have guided tours. It remains closed on Monday.

The Tuesday-to-Thursday stretch will have two waves of opening hours from 10 AM to 1 PM and at 2–5 PM; last guest permitted for the first set will be allowed in at noon, while the latter will let the last person in at 4 PM.

Previously, the museum was only available to the public on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

The Heritage Hub was previously Officina 81, Fiat’s Mirafiori manufacturing plant that opened in 1968 and was used for over 30 years. The building was then converted into its current form, though access was limited to reserved tours. Spanning approxiamtely 15,000 square meters, the collection originally had just marques like Fiat and Lancia before expanding to Stellantis’ other manufacturers.

64 cars are on display at the center of the exhibition space, split into eight themes:

  • Archistars: Cars that “revolutionized automotive architecture while respecting the principles of productivity and functionality”
  • Concepts and Fuoriserie: Rare and one-off vehicles
  • Eco and Sustainable: Environmentally friendly vehicle designs
  • Epic Journeys: Long-distance traveling vehicles
  • Records and Races: Motorsports
  • Small and Safe: Compact cars
  • Style Marks: Design innovations
  • The Rally Era: Self explanatory. Lancia currently has a similar exhibit at Autoworld in Brussels.

Additional vehicles are present along the sides of the building, sorted by manufacturer and arranged in chronological order.
