The Louwman Museum in The Hague houses a unique collection of more than 250 highlights of automotive history. See more than 130 years of human progress, innovation, and design.
During your one hour guided tour, learn more on how automotive transport has evolved over the years. The one-of-a-kind collection of rare automobiles and memorabilia allows visitors to discover the advances in technology. Yet, also in design trends, growing wealth and changing social trends. You will find everything from the first-ever electric vehicle, built more than a century ago, to some of the 20th-century’s most stunning automotive designs.
The Louwman Museum also offers ancillary collections of vehicle-themed art, such as miniature models, posters, trophies, and even airplanes. They are all well worth a look.
The full collection is housed in the Michael Graves-designed main museum building. This is located in a lush section of The Hague that is renowned for its grand estates. The building covers an area of 16,000 square meters and is divided across three floors. After your visit, wander through the wonderful landscaped garden. It is beautifully integrated with the ‘Haagse Bos’, a protected wooded area within the city of The Hague.
