Acht van Chaam: cycling images in the café

The museum about the Acht van Chaam is housed in Café ’t Chaamsche Wapen. The display brings together film footage, posters and photographs relating to the cycling event; visits are normally by appointment.

Plan your visit ↗

The race on camera

The collection description mentions historical films and photographs of riders and winners. Visual material offers a different way in from a list of results: you can also pay attention to the way the event is shown. When making your appointment, ask which films are part of the guided tour.

Posters as announcements

Lithographic posters are also part of what is described. Look at how text and image announce the race and which information the designer gives space to. These designs complement the moving images with another side of the same cycling event.

Choose a suitable guided tour

A short and a more extensive guided tour with film are mentioned. Discuss in advance which option you want to book. Regular appointments are not possible on Mondays or Fridays. Special event days may have additional openings, but for those you need to follow the separate announcements.

Before you go

Make an appointment; the café being open is no guarantee of access to the museum.
