Got to see the Schlumpf Collection in Alsace. Interesting history behind the place. Here are a few highlights.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit%C3%A9_de_l%E2%80%99AutomobileIn light of the movement of the woollen industry to Asia, by 1976 the Schlumpf brothers had begun to sell their factories. In October the Malmerspach plant laid off employees, and a strike broke out,[1] with 400 police holding back the workers from ransacking the Mulhouse plant. After a stand-off, on March 7, 1977, textile union activists staged a sit-in strike at the Schlumpf offices, and broke into the Mulhouse "factory" to find the astounding collection of cars.[2] An unrestored Austin 7 was burned and the workers' union representative remarked "There are 600 more where this one came from."
The Schlumpfs fled to their native Switzerland, and spent the rest of their days as permanent residents of the Drei Koenige Hotel in Basel.[3] But with wages outstanding, the factory was occupied for the next two years by the textile union and renamed "Workers’ Factory."[1] To recoup some of their lost wages, the union opened the museum to the public, with some 800,000 people viewing the collection in two years.[2]
As the scale of the brothers Schlumpf debt rose, various creditors including the unions eyed the car collection as a way to recover their losses. To save the destruction, break-up or export of the collection, in 1978 the contents were classified as a French historic monument by the Council of State. In 1979, a bankruptcy liquidator ordered the building closed.
