Benefit found in Belgium

Guild member Julian Parish has been in touch to tell us about a recent visit he made to the national car museum of Belgium, Autoworld Brussels.

Julian told us that the museum has a regular programme of different exhibitions – currently it is featuring Mercedes-Benz. “It’s easy to reach by Metro if you come to Brussels by train (Eurostar).

“They offer free entrance to journalists and were happy to accept my Guild membership card. You even get a free drink in the café, so I am enjoying a Belgian beer as I write this!”

The museum was founded in 1986, initially displaying the extensive automobile collection of the Mahy family, which at one time numbered more than 1,000 vehicles. Today more than 300 vehicles are on display at any one time – for more details check out the website.
