Gazing up at the monumental South Hall in Brussels’ Parc du Cinquantenaire, can you hear the echoes of roaring engines? This magnificent building houses Autoworld Museum. Autoworld isn’t just a museum. It’s a time machine, transporting you through the thrilling evolution of automotive history. Autoworld opened its doors in 1986, thanks to the passion of a few key individuals. King Albert II, Minister Louis Olivier, and Herman De Croo recognized the importance of preserving automotive heritage. They chose this iconic location, with its rich history of hosting motorcar exhibitions since 1902. At the heart of Autoworld lies the impressive Mahy Collection. Ghislain Mahy, a lifelong car enthusiast, amassed over 1,000 vehicles. His collection became the foundation of the museum. Autoworld showcases over 300 vehicles from the Mahy Collection and beyond. From the earliest models of the late 19th century to the sleek designs of the 1990s. The collection includes European and American classics. Look for the Belgian-made Minervas, symbols of national pride. Admire the royal limousines, whispering tales of elegant processions. You can even see a prototype of the Audi A2. Beyond the gleaming chrome and polished hoods, Autoworld tells a deeper story. It’s a story of innovation, design, and the human desire for speed and freedom. As you wander through the halls, imagine the cobblestone streets of early Brussels. Picture yourself behind the wheel of a vintage Ford T, just like Ghislain Mahy. Hear the rumble of a 1930 Bugatti. Autoworld is more than a museum. It’s an experience. A celebration of automotive history that will leave you captivated.
