It's also currently closed for "renovation" as of July but it MIGHT be  
reopened by now. Even though the website said that it would be closed  
from July 1, to August 31, I found it still closed when I was in Milan  
last month. Best to check by faxing them at:

before you leave for Italy

I put renovation in quotes because Fiat has been threatening to move  
the Museum for about 5 years and It's just possible that this  
renovation incorporates that move. If Fiat is doing what they said they  
were going to do, the museum will be relocated to downtown Milan. A  
good thing I believe. It will certainly be easier to get to, one won't  
have to traipse through the Alfa office building, surrendering one's  
passport at the gate, and, ostensibly won't be forcibly ejected at  
12:30 until 2:00 PM every day for lunch. The "old" museum had no real  
staff on the floor, just a cleaning lady who locks and unlocks the  
doors for visitors. You can get a guide if your party is at least 10  
persons. Otherwise, you're on your own.
