The museum
The Louwman Museum brings the history of the automobile to life.
Since the first developments in 1887, the car has profoundly changed our world. As one of the most important inventions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the automobile is central to a story of progress, technology and design. The collection is not intended to be exhaustive, but to offer a clear and engaging picture of the development of the car and its impact on society. With attention to historical value and meaning, it creates a snapshot of an era in which innovation, design and human use come together.
