Welcome Evening
Autoworld Museum
(Cinquantenaire building)
Monday, 25 October 2010 at 19.30
Duration approx. 3 hours
All registered delegates, guests and spouses are invited to the BIR Welcome Evening, which will be held in one of the most eye-catching and beautiful monuments in Brussels, the Cinquantenaire building.
The Autoworld Museum, a splendid collection of old-timers, is located in one of its exhibition halls, which are an architectural delicacy in their own right. The design is a real glorification of the industrial accomplishments of the turn of the 19th century, with iron and glass as the main construction materials.
The Museum itself is really a 'must' for fanatics of old-timer cars. The more than 400 cars came mainly from the automobile collections of Ghislain Mahy and Charly De Pauw. Both Belgian and rare foreign cars are displayed, such as the Bentley 1928, the Bugatti 1930 and the Cord 1930.
A varied buffet in an exceptional setting will ensure that our guests spend an excellent evening. There is no need to book a restaurant afterwards.
Transport by bus to the Autoworld Museum will be provided from the Sheraton Brussels Hotel.
Dress code: business suit.
