NAMAC members show thousands of miniature cars in Louwman Museum in The Hague

DUTCH GENERAL MINIATURE CAR CLUB CELEBRATES

50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH GRAND ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION

This year the NAMAC, the Dutch General Miniature Auto Club, is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. The club will liven up the anniversary year with, among other things, a huge miniature car exhibition in the Louwman Museum in The Hague. The Jubilee Exhibition of the NAMAC runs from July 1 to August 9, 2015.

The Anniversary Exhibition includes no fewer than 112 showcases, which are set up in the Great Hall and the Toyoda room of the Louwman Museum. Members of Europe's largest association of collectors of miniature cars, each with their own theme, show all kinds of aspects of their hobby. The club also displays historical objects and documents from its rich history.

Each display case has been decorated by a different NAMAC member, so that all kinds of collecting themes are covered. After all, there is much more than the proverbial Dinky Toys and plastic construction sets. The exhibition gives an idea of how broad the miniature car hobby is, without being able to be complete in that format.

Collectors give their own interpretation to the hobby. Many NAMAC members build, rebuild and restore their models themselves. There are also countless examples of this to be admired at the Jubilee Exhibition. Of course, the showcases are full of miniature cars, trucks and other vehicles from all kinds of manufacturers, car brands and scales - from Dinky Toys to Matrix, from the Model T to the Toyota Prius, from garbage trucks to race trucks and from police cars to racing and rally cars. But also an impressive model of the former Citroën building on Stadionplein in Amsterdam can be admired, as well as intriguing paintings by Dinky Toys that clearly show that children have played with them and models of cars from songs, for the ultimate youth sentiment ...

Catalogue

At the Jubilee Exhibition, NAMAC publishes a valuable catalog, in which the club and the participants in the exhibition explain all the beauty that is on display. Naturally, NAMAC members are also present every day, who can tell more about this beautiful hobby and who are happy to answer the questions of visitors.

The Louwman Museum is considered one of the most beautiful car museums in the world. From the desk of the NAMAC Anniversary Exhibition, take the elevator to the second floor and enjoy a more than a kilometer walk through the entire history of the car. Much of what can be seen to scale in the display cases of the NAMAC exhibition is in real life, in all its glory, in the museum.
