Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum is a privately owned museum located in the municipality of Al-Shahaniya in Qatar. Encompassing an area of 530,000 m², the three-building museum was opened in 1998 by Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani.

„It gives me tremendous pleasure to highlight the best destination I visited this year.“ said on facebook Rekta043 Denver Estrada:

„Recently, I visited Hong Kong to see this great collection of Mr. Romario. Then I remembered Romario, who had shared a few months ago about his collection and said that if someone ever plans to visit Hong Kong his place is open for everyone who wants to hang out. All of this was just a digital image to my screen. It was like a dream when I finally stepped to this place. I've never imagined that I will be able to visit this extraordinary collection from Hong Kong.

Although Romario has been riding since 2013, he only began this collection a few years ago. Those years must have been one of a kind experience. These bikes came from different parts of the world, the farthest one is from Argentina. What I like about this collection is that every bike has an origin story. It wasn't easy for him to gather all the parts. Due to the fact that he occasionally had to negotiate and convince the prior owner to sell it to him. He must be among the world's most devoted bike collectors.“

The path of lovers of automobiles and later racing cars very often leads through bicycles and motorcycles. It was no different in Monaco.

At the end of the 1950s, the car enthusiast Prince Rainier III began collecting old cars. His collection gradually grew over the years as he acquired more and more models, and the garage at the Prince's Palace soon emerged as too small to contain this collection of around a hundred stunning streamlined and sporty cars, from majestic body work to gleaming hoods and regal radiator grills!

In 1993, Prince Rainier III therefore decided to open his precious collection to the public. Many of the cars in the museum are cars used directly by the royal family.

The National Agricultural Museum in Szreniawa was founded in 1964. There are many open-air exhibits, including demonstrations of agricultural tools and machines, hives and other historical objects. One „exhibit“ is very interesting for us – bicycle collectors. Home made or blacksmith safety, even including a chain, dated after 1892.
