Bicycles and accessories

What was previously on show included historic bicycles, lamps and advertising. The collection thus went beyond the bicycle itself, with attention also paid to lighting and the presentation of brands.

Small objects

Bicycle tax plates (rijwielbelastingplaatjes) and an ANWB aid chest are mentioned in descriptions. Items like these help identify the former scope of the collection, but whether they are still there and can be seen has not been confirmed.

Get in touch first

Reports of closure and of visits by appointment contradict each other. Without confirmation from the keeper, it is unclear whether visits are still possible. So do not treat a listed address or phone number as a promise of access.

Before you go

Current visiting options are unknown. Have it confirmed directly whether the collection is still accessible and at which address. The information link refers to press coverage.
