Autoworld Brussels
Autoworld Brussels showcases a 100-year history of automobiles with more than 400 vehicles, displayed in five expositions. The steel construction of the former Palais Mondial, an early 20th-century edifice by architect Gédéon Bordiau, contains vast ensembles of various models, featuring animal-drawn, steam or electric traction and gas powered automobiles.
The museum was set up in 1984 from the personal collection of Ghislain Mahy and Charly De Pauw. The collection claims to be Europe's largest ensemble to be devoted to 'old cars'. Practically all the Belgian names sit alongside the European and U.S. models. The highlights of the collection include the vehicle designed by pioneer Léon Bollée (1896), a mass-produced Ford Model T, a VW Beetle and the Citroen 2CV; all of which rub shoulders with vehicles and motorcycles that belonged to Belgian royals.
