First opened in 1994, the museum showcases Mazda’s history, classic vehicles, and the evolution of the automobile industry, drawing around 50,000 visitors annually. The renovation expands exhibits and displays to create a more immersive experience, helping guests better understand Mazda’s journey, appeal, and vision for the future.
