At the Louwman Museum you can discover one of the worlds most diverse collections of memorabilia, telling the story of the automobile through art and objects.
Miniatures
From the moment the first automobiles appeared on the road, miniature versions were made, often with a striking resemblance to the originals. In addition, from the 1930s onward there were the so called Spindizzies, which raced on special tracks at speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour.
Sculptures and trophies
