PORTSMOUTH, R.I. (August 29, 2024) – The Newport Car Museum in Portsmouth, R.I. has received Tripadvisor’s® Travelers’ Choice® Award for 2024. The award, from the world’s largest travel guidance platform, places Newport Car Museum among the top 10% of attractions worldwide and coincides with the Museum recently exceeding 100 cars in its private collection, which is always on display – in its entirety – for the public to enjoy.

“Travelers’ Choice honors businesses that consistently demonstrate a commitment to hospitality excellence,” said Tripadvisor Chief Growth Officer John Boris. “This means you have made such a memorable impact on your visitors that many of them took the time to go online and leave great reviews about their experiences. People rely on Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice seal to help them navigate the myriad number of things to see, eat and do across the globe.”
The Newport Car Museum, with seven separate galleries for World Cars, Porsches, Ford/Shelby, Corvettes, Fin Cars, Mopar and American Muscle, celebrates cars as works of art and focuses on eight decades (from the mid-1950s to current times) of modern industrial automotive design. The displays, enhanced with platforms and turntables for the cars, award-winning videos, commissioned artwork, and Mid-Century Modern furniture, have been carefully curated to appeal to men as well as women and to all generations, from grandparents to parents to children.
“This summer we averaged over 2,000 visitors a week, but the Museum is so large it never seemed crowded,” said Newport Car Museum’s Founder Gunther Buerman. “There are no ropes around the cars, no guided tours. The whole idea behind the Museum is to put smiles on people’s faces and let them enjoy, at their own pace, a walk down memory lane, the discovery of new things about the cars they know, and of course the pleasure of seeing extraordinary cars that they might never get to see otherwise.”
