Louwman Museum

[4] The current owner of the collection is Evert Louwman, the Dutch importer of Lexus, Toyota, and Suzuki.

[5] The Louwman Museum is housed in a building with three floors and over 10,000 m² of exhibition space, on The Hague's Leidsestraatweg.

It was specifically designed as a museum by Driehaus Prize winner Michael Graves, a New Classical American architect.

From post-World War II the museum features a car of Winston Churchill, the Aston Martin DB5 used in the James Bond movie Goldfinger, and a Cadillac of Elvis Presley.

The former collection of old cars of the Dutch Autotron [nl] in Rosmalen had been on display since 2005 in Raamsdonksveer, and was moved to the new museum in The Hague.

In 2009, the museum acquired the 1913 Black Bess, a Bugatti Type 18, owned first by World War I flying ace Roland Garros (1888-1918) and then by British racing driver Ivy Cummings (1900-1971) who gave the car its name.
