The Louwman Museum houses the world’s oldest private collection of historic cars, coaches, and motorbikes
Located in The Hague, Netherlands, the Louwman Museum is a home of the world’s oldest private collection of historic cars, coaches, and motorbikes, brought together by two generations of the Louwman family.
The museum is housed in an 185,000-square-foot building with three floors and over 107, 600-square-foot of exhibition space.
The designer behind the museum building was the American postmodernist architect Michael Graves. The layout of the park which surrounds the building was designed by the landscape architect, Louis Baljon.
It all started in 1923, when Pieter W.
Louwman, the father of the current owner, Evert Louwman, and his former business partner A. Parqui established their company, called Louwman & Parqui, in The Hague.
A year later, Mr. Louwman purchased the first car – a Dodge Model 30 tourer, which is still a proud part of the collection.
