Tuesday june 30rd was the official opening (at 17.00) and what a great event it was.
Aprox 250 people atending and former 24 Le Mans winner Gijs van Lennep did put a model Porsche into one of the 112 cabinetsas the official opening ceremony.
I was already in the museum around 15.00 and stayed till aprox 19.15.
Spoke with many other collectors and the press as several press was invited too.
It was a great event and if this opening reflects the succes of the rest of the exhbition (till aug 9rd) it will be a huge succes.
I hope many collectors will visit so tell your friends about it.
I did take photos.
