The AUTOWORLD museum in the Cinquantenaire Parc is really a 'must' for fanatics of old-timer cars. The more than 400 cars in this museum came mainly from the automobile collections of Ghislain Mahy and Charly De Pauw.

On display is the entire history of "the Vehicle" of the 20th century, from 1886 up to the 1970's.

There is, first of all, a department with Belgian automobiles. Although, nowadays, Belgian car brands do no longer exist, names such as Minerva, FN, Imperia, Nagant, Germain and Vivinus still ring a bell with lovers of the automobile. These cars came out of Belgian factories in the pre-World War II era.

There are also several foreign cars from countries such as the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.There are special models which belonged to the Belgian royal family, to the US presidents Franklin Roosevelt and J.F.Kennedy.

Some rare car models are represented here: the Bentley 1928, the Bugatti 1930 and the Cord 1930.

The Autoworld museum disposes of a shop where miniature models can be purchased as well as different other paraphernalia. Many of the vehicles can be hired for special events such as receptions or movies.
