4.0 (151 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in East Flanders Province Speciality Museums
Excellent small museum
Great small museum about cycling with many high quality and interactive exhibits especially given the size. We had to whole place to ourselves that day. The cafe wasn't anything special but the store had lots of interesting cycling stuff. Worth a visit.

Fantastic Museum
Visited as an easy side trip from Gent (Direct train takes approx 30 mins). The museum is housed on the ground floor and basement of a very modern building. Upon entering the basement you start your visit in a triple screen viewing room where a film giving a flavour of the race history is shown.Then into the museum itself where the history of the Tour of Flanders is told from it's start til present day. The exhibits ranging from old racing cycles to a signed Fabian Cancellara jersey. Various Trophies are housed in well lit glass cabinets. There are screens showing clips from the race. Interactive quizzes and even a couple of fixed cycles to "ride" the course. Some of the exhibits have English translations, the majority don't, but no problem as we were given a folder to take round with English translations. We spent over 2 hours looking round, I'm positive anyone with an interest in cycle racing will love this place. If you're lucky ex world champion Freddy Martens will be around, - we were, and had a chat and he didn't mind having photos taken. All the staff were extremely friendly and informative. There is a bistro/bar attached, also worth a visit, with a display of TdF photos and racing jerseys.

MY ronde van vlaanderen
Hired a bike for the day to cycle part of the famous ronde. Staff was very friendly and helpful, my bike was ready to go on arrival, changing room and shower facilities very good also. Enjoyed my ride and the bike performed wonderfully. Recommend this experience to anyone.
