Louwman Museum – Profile Page Five
Last but by no means least, there is a nice mix of six Bugattis, ranging from the “Black Bess”, the well-known Roland Garros car to a Type 57, the show model of the Salon de Paris of 1934, with a body by Gangloff. There is also a Type 43 and a Type 50.

This ends the tour of the Museum, but there are still lots of other things to see, like old shops and the like.
If you feel rather tired after all this, which is quite likely, you can get some refreshments from the “Museumplein”, a reconstruction of a small market square, looking French but very much in Holland.

Thank you, Mr. Helbach, for the wonderful images and story on this still little known, important museum. Well done.
Superb profile by Peter Helbach. I now have yet another automotive item on my bucket list…
An excellent article with fabulous photos. And I sincerely appreciate the mention of one of our best American architects, Michael Graves, something many times forgotten. Thank you.
Perfect timing! We’re planning a Spring visit to Amsterdam and this will make a great day day trip between the Vermeers and the tulips. Thanks
One of the joys of the weekly mail from SportsCarDigest is the link to beautiful reports and pictures of the best places and events. But to be honest I am slightly disappointed by these pictures.
I am just a free time photographer but I would like to show the pictures I have taken on a spare Sunday:

And all petrol heads who visit The Netherlands be sure to visit this fantastic museum. I live just 10 kilometres from this spectacle and I love to visit it every now and then.
Kind regards,
Maurice
Which DB5 is that? The one that recently sold that had been in the States?
When I visited the museum the fist time, about ten years ago, this DB5 was allready in their collection.
