The Royal Automobile Museum recently signed an agreement of cooperation with the French Cultural Center to establish a program of exchange and collaboration in areas of mutual interest.

The first activity of this agreement, sponsored by TOTAL Jordan, one of the world's major oil and gas groups, is presenting the famous and historic 24 hours of Le Mans Race art exhibition at the Museum; this event falls under the umbrella of the three year collaboration between Le Mans Museum & Race Course and the Royal Automobile Museum.

The art exhibition is to take place from 9 June to 8 July 2010, at the Museum, except for Tuesdays, and it will be open for all the public.

Also within the agreement, Royal Automobile Museum's photo exhibition of classic cars and Jordanian scenery will be exhibited at Le Mans during the famed race.

Commenting on the agreement, Director of Royal Automobile Museum, Raja Gargour, said: "this association is not only about cars or races but about promoting the museum worldwide and exposing Jordan to thousands of racing fans". The "Le Mans exhibit " is only a beginning of the relationship with the circuit and its museum as we hope to expand the partnership next year and the year after".
