The village is home to the [[National Motor Museum, Beaulieu|National Motor Museum]], opened in 1952 as the Montagu Motor Museum before becoming a charitable trust in 1972. It contains an important collection of [[History of the automobile|historic motor vehicles]], including four world [[land speed record]] holders: Sir [[Malcolm Campbell]]'s 1920 [[Sunbeam 350hp]], his son [[Donald Campbell]]'s 1961 [[Bluebird CN7|Bluebird-Proteus CN7]], the 1927 [[Sunbeam 1000hp]] (the first [[motor car]] to reach {{convert|200|mph|0|abbr=out}}), and the 1929 [[Jack Irving|Irving]]-Napier Special '[[Golden Arrow (car)|Golden Arrow]]'. The latter two were both driven by Major [[Henry Segrave]].

In the late 1950s, Beaulieu was the surprising location for one of Britain's first experiments in [[Pop festivals|pop festival]] culture, with the annual Beaulieu Jazz Festival, which quickly expanded to become a significant event in the burgeoning jazz and youth pop music scene of the period. Camping overnight, a rural invasion, eccentric dress, wild music and sometimes wilder behaviour; these now familiar features of pop festivals happened at Beaulieu each summer, culminating in the so-called 'Battle of Beaulieu' at the 1960 festival, when rival gangs of modern and traditional jazz fans indulged in a spot of what sociologists went on to call 'subcultural contestation'.<ref>McKay 2004, 2005</ref>
