Mountainbike Museum: the bike as a collector's object

In a former school building in Arnhem, the mountain bike gets all the space. The Mountainbike Museum's collection is presented across classrooms and a gymnasium.

Looking at a bike differently

Start with the frame, handlebars and wheels before you read a brand name. Which shapes stand out, and what questions do they raise about riding? The caption can help you connect a striking feature to its function.

Different makers

The collection lists brands such as Klein, Specialized, GT and Cannondale.

Also a meeting place

The museum combines the collection with a trail centre and meetings between mountain bikers. A conversation can make a technical question more concrete. Check which activities are available on the day of your visit; a museum tour and an organised ride are different things.

Before you go

Individual visits are offered free of charge and without booking; separate arrangements apply for groups and activities.
