KOERS. Museum of Cycle Racing and its collection

KOERS. Museum of Cycle Racing
Source

KOERS is the place where you discover and experience the great and small stories from the world of cycling. And that in the beautiful setting of the Arsenal-building in the heart of Roeselare. From a bike from the very first Tour de France to a race worn shirt from cycling phenomenon Tadej Pogacar: you quickly understand why KOERS is known as the international treasure trove of cycling. Nowhere else in the world will you find such an impressive collection of racing bikes, trophies, jerseys, and memorabilia. In addition to the greats of cycling, KOERS also showcases lesser-known stories of figures who leave a lasting impression. So, be sure to check out the temporary exhibitions in and around the museum alongside the permanent displays. Furthermore, the serene tribute to Jean-Pierre Monseré in the ‘Allez Jempi’ room remains an absolute must-see. KOERSKAFFEE KOERS is not only for the cycling enthusiast but also for the cycling novice. An interactive and accessible route allows everyone to get acquainted with the world of cycling in an engaging manner. In the museum garden, for instance, you will find beautiful street art portraits of Belgian world champions. At the 'Chain of Fame', you can discover which legends have visited the museum. In need of refreshments—crucial during a race—or a pleasant end to your museum visit? Then be sure to indulge yourself at KOERSKaffee! You are more than welcome for a snack and a drink or a delicious, hearty meal. When the weather is nice, you simply can't resist the sunny terrace!
