From September 17–23, 2025, Washington D.C.’s National Mall will host one of the most important intersections of art and automotive history. The Hagerty Drivers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving automotive culture, will showcase Andy Warhol’s legendary 1979 BMW M1 Art Car as part of its annual Cars at the Capital exhibition. Displayed inside the Foundation’s signature glass enclosure, the Warhol BMW M1 will officially become the 37th vehicle documented in the National Historic Vehicle Register, with records permanently archived in the U.S. Library of Congress.

This pop-up museum format offers the public an unprecedented opportunity to experience a global icon up close—free of charge and just steps away from the Smithsonian museums.
