Velorama, National bicycle museum in Nijmegen, Netherlands.

The Velorama spans three floors presenting bicycles from various time periods, with a strong focus on nineteenth-century transportation models from multiple countries.

Founded in 1981, the museum preserves numerous cycling artifacts, including an 1817 draisine designed by Karl von Drais for personal transportation.

The collection includes bicycles belonging to Dutch royal family members, military personnel, and everyday citizens, reflecting societal changes through transportation.

Located at 107 Waalkade in Nijmegen, the museum received 30,000 visitors in 1998 but does not provide wheelchair access to its exhibitions.

Among the exhibits stands a 1949 Donald Duck Bicycle, alongside wooden frames and bamboo-constructed models demonstrating material evolution in cycling.
