Ralph Lauren Classic Car Collection Exhibition in Paris (Part 1)

Ralph Lauren Reveals His Classic Car Collection In Europe For The Very First Time

Ralph Lauren is transporting his most exquisite car collection to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris for a special exhibit called "The Art of the Automobile: Masterpieces from the Ralph Lauren Collection".

Last night stars rubbed shoulders at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, where they were the first to see Ralph Lauren's Classic car collection in Europe.

Jean Reno marvelled at the beauty of the cars, expressing that the cars are historic but modern. Zhang Ziyi spoke about how much she loves visiting Paris and the passion of the city. The former F1 driver, Jackie Stewart, fondly recalls driving and racing with Ralph Lauren in the LM Ferrari in the collection.

The exhibition opens from the 28th of April, where a selection of Ralph Lauren's most prestigious sports cars from the 1930s to the present day is on show for the first time in Europe at Paris' Musée des Arts Décoratifs. 17 outstanding cars, chosen by the curator Rodolphe Rapetti, outline the main phases of European automobile history.

Stylish not only in clothing but also in automobiles, world renowned designer Ralph Lauren has established himself as one of the world's major car collectors. His impressive collection includes a 1938 Bugatti, a 1958 Ferrari Testa Rossa and a 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago; making Ralph Lauren's range of cars 'a museum of automotive history, an archive of performance machines that represent the finest achievements in motorsport'.

With this collection, Ralph Lauren shows that the automobile is a major art form created by the industry's biggest names: Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Porsche and of course, Ferrari, the high point of this unique collection.

The exhibition will be the first time his collection will be shown in Europe; and with the distance the cars were required to travel, the transportation and instillation of cars was planned and carefully executed to maintain high standards of care.

@TejasM14 I agree, and cars are a work of art, so it's okay to have them locked away safe and sound and kept in impeccable condition...It's the same way people treat their valuable china...Some people use them rarely and some people don't use them at all, because they want to keep them in mint condition...So, there are arguments on both sides of the coin re having the kind of car collection Ralph has...Also, why drive these prized possessions when he has so many others to choose from.

[TejasM14]

@ZilverMoose @pagalley1 In fact it is quite generous of him to have his prized possessions out on display for that length of time, wanting to share these landmarks of luxury and technology with the world.

[TejasM14]

@ZilverMoose @pagalley1 Things are perceived differently by different people. In the case of cars: for some it is the technology, for some the workmanship, for some it is the sheer thrill of breaking barriers through performance, to some it is art to gain inspiration from and to some it is an investment. Besides, Ralph lives on a ranch. It would be impractical for him to drive it there. And when on the move, it would be unintelligent to transport those cars around the various cities he goes to.

@bobryt Isn't that the point of a collectible?
