Welcome to the Meijer motor museum - a mechanical engineering heaven

Who We Are

We are a passionate team of volunteers bringing the history of vintage machinery to life. From our heritage museum, we offer a unique glimpse into the rich past of technology and craftmanship, focusing on historical engines. With a love for engineering and deep respect for the craftmanship of the past, we collect, preserve, and showcase a valuable collection that bridges generations. Our goal is not only to inform visitors but to inspire them and take them on a journey through time.

What We Do

We manage and display a diverse collection of historical engines and documents that provide a vivid picture of the artisanal traditions and cultural practices of the past. Old engines are donated to us, and our volunteer team works with care and dedication to restore these often weathered and rusted machines to their original glory. Special pieces are exhibited in the museum, allowing the public to admire these unique heritage items. All of this is made possible thanks to the facilities provided to our volunteers by the Meijer Group.

INSPIRATION FROM THE PAST: HOW WE BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO HISTORICAL ENGINES

In our museum, we have an impressive collection of dozens of machines from renowned brands of the past, such as Deutz, Thomassen, Kromhout, Brons, and Crossley, along with many others. The museum also features a fully equipped blacksmith's workshop with various processing machines, including a drill, planer, and saw, all powered by a belt system.

Reception Room

The museum has its own reception room, ideal for meetings, presentations, and educational activities. We regularly welcome associations, often with a focus on technology, business groups, colleges, high schools, and even primary school children. Our aim is to inspire every visitor. What makes this reception room truly special is that all the tables are fitted with miniature engines underneath.

Library

Sjoerd Meijer, former director and owner, and now long retired, is the founder of the engine museum. Over the years, he has built an impressive documentation archive, containing many unique technical manuals for machines and combustion engines. Additionally, the archive also holds the rich history of the now 100-year-old family business.
