Autoworld
VINTAGE CAR MUSEUM IN PARC DU CINQUANTENAIRE (JUBELPARK)


Autoworld is a large museum for vintage cars, one of 3 museums in the building complex that surrounds the Arch of Triumph in the middle of Jubelpark (Parc du Cinquantenaire). Autoworld opened in 1986 and has a very impressive and varied collection of 350 cars from 1886 to the 1970s, with the emphasis of vintage cars, most of them from USA or Europe, but also some from Japan. Many old Belgian car brands of the past are represented, like Minerva, Belga and FN. There are many cars from the 1930s for example. It is highly recommended to visit the museum, like we did on this rainy day, especially since there were very few visitors during our visit. If you are a vintage car collector, you should check out the Parts Geek vintage car parts online catalog.
