Velorama, National bicycle museum in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Velorama is a bicycle museum in Nijmegen spanning three floors with bikes from different centuries. The collection includes wooden frames, metal constructions, and specialized models that show how this form of transport changed over time.
The museum opened in 1981 and preserves bicycles from many periods of development. Among its holdings is an 1817 draisine, one of the earliest examples of pedal-free riding machines created for personal travel.
The collection includes bicycles belonging to Dutch royal family members, military personnel, and everyday citizens, reflecting societal changes through transportation.
The museum sits along the Waalkade waterfront and is easy to find when exploring the city. Plan enough time to visit all three floors, as there is much to see and read.
The collection includes a 1949 Donald Duck bicycle that shows how cartoon characters influenced children's vehicle design. Such quirky pieces sit alongside historical prototypes, making the museum more playful than expected.
