FYI - people in France on another forum are claiming that photography is not allowed inside this museum. Maybe they will relax that policy for this display but it remains to be seen what will actually happen once the doors open.

I believe it is a partnership with the Louvre. If that is the case, they have not allowed cameras since its advent haha!!
It would be interesting to have a painter draw up the display.

^I wish I could. Unfortunately our itinerary is already set and Paris isn't exactly a "hop, skip and and jump" from the places we will be visiting while there.
Ralph Lauren's collection is IMHO without question the most perfect collection of beautiful, tasteful and significant cars ever assembled. Its as much an esoteric collection of mechanical and design perfection as it is a group of automobiles.
Hmmmm, maybe I could look into a quick 24 hr. sidebar trip to Paris.....
