MAHY a familly of cars –EXPO 2021, Gent – Belgium 
The tranquil beauty of unique classic cars…
The vintage car collection of the Belgian Mahy family is world-famous. These days, the collection consists of 1100 cars (from 1895 onwards) and is one of the most complete collections of car history in the world. A part of the collection (approx. 400 cars) can be seen in two musea in Belgium. But… most of the collection (called ‘The Reserve’) is safely stored away in large hangars that are not open to the public. Unique specimens, whose very existence is sometimes no longer suspected. The cars are unrestored and the ambience is unique, almost cerebral. Those who love faded splendour and the beauty of nostalgia fall silent at the sight.
Many bicycle collectors should learn and inspire here.

KOERS Museum of Cycle Racing Roeselare – Belgium
The collection consists of three main categories: the (racing) bicycle collection, the cycling sports collection and the documentary collection.
BICYCLE COLLECTION
A defining feature of the museum is the KOERS bicycle collection. Providing a representative view of how cycling and competitive cycling have developed from the early days to the present, the collection of 300-plus bicycles covers a total period of almost 200 years.

DOCUMENTARY COLLECTION
The documentary collection covers the period from the late 19th century (the early days of bicycles/competitive cycling) to the present from an international perspective. The documentary collection contains more than 2,400 publications, 180 running metres of magazines and newspapers, 30 running metres of archives and hundreds of thousands of photographs. The KOERS documentary collection is quite unlike the collections of other cycling-related establishments, which is exactly why the collection policy focuses so much on this third category.
