The AUTOWORLD museum in the Cinquantenaire Parc is really a ‘must’ for fanatics of old-timer cars. The more than 400 cars in this museum came mainly from the automobile collections of Ghislain Mahy and Charly De Pauw.
The more than 400 cars in this museum comprise one of the world’s top collections of vintage and classic cars. On display also is the history of the automobile from 1886 up to the 1970’s. There is, first of all, an exhibit of Belgian automobiles. Belgian car manufacturers no longer exist, but names such as Minerva, FN, Imperia, Nagant, Germain and Vivinus are names that are familiar to those who are lovers of the automobile. These cars came out of Belgian factories in the pre-world war II era. There are also cars from the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom. There are also special models which belonged to the Belgian royal family and to US presidents Franklin Roosevelt and J.F.Kennedy.
Even if you’re not a car fanatic, you’ll find this display of 500 historic cars set in the hangarlike Palais Mondial fascinating. The collection starts with 1899 early motorized tricycles and moves on to a 1911 Model T Ford, a 1924 Renault, a 1938 Cadillac that was the official White House car for FDR and Truman, a 1956 Cadillac used by Eisenhower and then by Kennedy during his June 1963 visit to Berlin, and more.
This is the one for all motor fanatics. This dusty old place has an amazing collection of old European and American autos from across 3 centuries, including a lot of models you have never seen before. There are five main permanent exhibitions, The Collection Mahy, The Motorcycles of Marcel Thiry, The Gallery Pierre D’Ieteren (Horse Coaches), Evocation of the car show of 1902 and Exhibition Auto Design Story.
Strictly for the car mad there are rare pre-World War II models on show as well as cars from all over the world.
