history

In three exhibition halls and an outdoor area, the museum houses over 150 bizarre, mostly drivable vehicles, some of which are replicas and some of them are vehicles in the form of everyday objects. For example, there are vehicles in the form of a bed , a sofa , a pump or a toilet . The vehicles were designed and handcrafted by the museum's founder . These are exclusively one-off pieces that were mainly made from the remains of other vehicles or scrap metal .

According to Sudhakar, his design ideas often come from “special occasions”. This is how the school kid's pencil box car , the sharpener car , the pen car and the pencil car came about on the occasion of a children's day ; After World AIDS Day , a vehicle in the form of a condom was created .
