Museum Van Alles Wa in Gemert collects mopeds and motocross bikes, with a strong focus on the 1950s to the 1970s. Advertising and gear give the vehicles a wider context.

Small engine, many differences

Sports mopeds and 50cc motocross bikes invite comparison. What differences in construction and stance stand out? Cutaway engines offer a different view from a complete vehicle and can help to make technical questions concrete.

More than vehicles

Petrol pumps, oil cans, advertising signs and motocross clothing are also part of the collection. See how such objects add to the use and experience of the vehicles. An advertising slogan tells you something different from a technical explanation.

Saturday or by appointment

The usual visiting day is Saturday. On Sundays and other days an appointment by phone is needed, even if an older listing suggests open Sunday opening. When planning, ask about accessibility and any special openings; a terrace offers a chance to take a break.

Before you go

Sunday by appointment only. Confirm special days and any accessibility requirements in advance.
