Autoworld Brussels

Autoworld is a large automotive museum in the center of Brussels, in the southern hall of the Cinquantenaire Park.

The museum has a number of important motorycles on display, and has many motorcycle-specific events - for instance, they exhibited 40 motorcycles from the Marcel Thiry collection, of which autoworld writes:
Marcel Thiry collects motorcycles which he restores with great patience and dedication. In a carefully restored studio from the Belle Epoque period.

Marcel Thiry did more or less the same with motorcycles as Ghislain Mahy did with cars. As a mechanic in Habay, Luxembourg, he collects wrecks of motorcycles, which he restores with great patience and dedication. In a carefully recreated studio from the "Belle Epoque" period, some of the finest copies of his collection have been produced.

The collection at Autoworld is displayed in a period setting, a replica workshop. Displayed are excellent restored examples of Gillet 350 model 21, Harley-Davidson 1918 combination, Rudge Multi, Ready 1924 and many others. Of particular interest is the MT - MT for Marcel Thiry - a one-off built in 1947 using a DKW engine from a Wehrmacht machine and components salvaged from a downed allied bomber.
