Velorama National Bicycle Museum
Nationaal Fietsmuseum Velorama
A bicycle museum on the bank of the Waal River, with a collection of about 250 bicycles from early wooden hobby horses to high-wheelers. A must-see for cycling enthusiasts.
The National Bicycle Museum, Velorama, is housed in an old building on the bank of the Waal River. It presents the history of cycling in the Netherlands and Europe, from wooden 'running machines' of the early 19th century and high-wheelers with huge front wheels, to military folding bicycles and the many styles of Dutch city bikes, accompanied by vintage posters and accessories. The museum is not large, and a visit takes about an hour. It pairs well with a stroll along the Waal riverbank.
