Wil Hartog Museum

The Wil Hartog Museum preserves the career and memorabilia of Dutch motorcycle racer Wil Hartog in five adjoining rooms next to his former grasdrogerij at Mijnsherenweg 7 in Lambertschaag. The display centres on Hartog’s racing kit, trophies, magazines and the Suzuki RG500 he rode to victory at the 1977 TT of Assen.

Visits are by appointment via the museum contact page (email listed on local tourism pages) and the museum opens publicly for special event days such as the annual Wil Hartog motorcycle tour. The site is small and best suited to motorcycle enthusiasts and local-history visitors planning their visit in advance.

A focused, personal collection laid out across five small rooms. Expect close-up views rather than a large exhibition hall.

Look out for:

• Wil Hartog’s Suzuki RG500 (the 1977 TT-winning bike) as the headline exhibit.

• Original racing kit, trophies and archived magazines documenting Hartog’s career.

• Photographs and local memorabilia tying the museum to the adjacent grasdrogerij site.

• Small exhibition space — displays are compact and closely arranged.
