The Louwman Museum in The Hague was designed as a museum by Michael Graves, a New Classical American architect and Driehaus Prize winner. Louis Baljon designed the surrounding park. The article gives no construction dates, materials or building style. Queen Beatrix opened it on July 3, 2010.
The museum has three floors and over 10,000 square meters of exhibition space, and holds about 275 vehicles. It claims the world's largest collection of cars from 1910 or older. The entrance uses a former Wassenaar Zoo gate with two brick pillars and lions. Highlights include a Winston Churchill car, an Elvis Presley Cadillac and the 1913 Black Bess Bugatti Type 18.
Pieter Louwman founded the collection in 1934, and his son Evert Louwman owns it now. It moved to The Hague in 2010 after earlier homes in Leidschendam and Raamsdonksveer. The article gives no hours.
