Automuseum Melle

Automuseum Melle houses a large private collection of historic vehicles across three floors of a restored former furniture factory. Many cars are maintained roadworthy and exhibits span early motorcars to postwar classics.

The museum opened in 1984 and moved to its current 4,700 m² listed building in 1997. It offers guided tours, rotating special exhibitions and event rental for groups and celebrations.

You’ll walk through three floors of period vehicles, engines and automotive memorabilia, with many cars displayed as complete, drivable examples.
