To Commemorate the 25 years of the Berthier-Villeneuve Committee
The Gilles-Villeneuve Museum offers you a scoop!
To commemorate its 25 years of existence, the Berthier-Villeneuve Committee, organism that manages the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum from Berthierville, launches a world exclusivity : a replica of the last Ferrari driven by Gilles Villeneuve, taking place in front of the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum and the bronze monument of the late champion!
It is a 1:43 scale reproduction numbered from 1 to 1000. The sale of this new box starts right now! To own this replica, call 1-800-639-0103 or 450-836-2714, you can also visit our web site at www.museegillesvilleneuve.com .
Fundraising Campaign
Racing car fans and collectors that will get this special edition box of the Italian company Brumm, prepared exclusively for the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum, will at the same time participate to the 2010 fundraising campaign of the establishment.
This collection box is sold at $49.95, plus taxes and handling fees.
The Berthier-Villeneuve Committee is a non-profit organism helping the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum to grow for 25 years now. Only volunteers occupy administrator posts. Among the many realisations of this group created after Gilles Villeneuve’s death in May 82, note the Berthierville driver bronze monument creation, reproduced by Brumm in this special edition, the opening of the very first Gilles-Villeneuve Museum in 1988 and the inauguration of the actual museum in 1995.
The life-size bronze monument of Gilles Villeneuve, installed years ago in a Berthierville park, takes place now in front of the actual Gilles-Villeneuve Museum. The original statue is the work of the well-known Quebec sculptor Jules Lasalle.
Since its opening to the public, the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum welcomes more than 250 000 visitors coming from over thirty countries.
It is also possible to contribute to the fundraising campaign in becoming member of the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum. The form is also available on the organism web site.
