About museum
Historiske biler med en venerabel fortid danner fundamentet for Sommer’s Automobile Museum. De originale veteran- og vintage køretøjer samt bil-, fly- og skibsmotorer kan beundres i de store lyse lokaler. Desuden er der udstillet et par tusinde modelbiler. Siden museets etablering har Ole Sommer med passion samlet en sand overdådighed af interessant mekanik og bilhistorie under et tag – med internationalt renommé. Museets samling er eventyrligt vidtfavnende, med de sjældne legendariske ’24 Heures du Mans Jaguar racersportsvogne som et par af favoritterne.
Ole Sommer
Ole Sommer launched his dream of creating a car museum way back in 1959 with the purchase of his first historic car. In the following years, the first cars were loaned to various Danish museums. In 1980, they were brought together over the car dealership in Nærum. In 2004, Sommer's Automobile Museum moved into the newly built 3-storey ideal museum building, Nærum Hovedgade 3.
Since 1960, Ole Sommer had a happy marriage with his Swiss wife, which resulted in 4 children and 11 grandchildren. This then formed the basis for retirement as an active museum manager and automotive historian until his passing on July 24, 2018.

Collection
Sommer's Automobile Museum is a private collection of cars and engines that represent the car man Ole Sommer's lifelong passion for design and mechanics. The car brands Volvo and Jaguar are central. But Ole Sommer's fascination with high-performance technical constructions characterizes the collection. This has resulted in a varied group of sporty and older cars.
