The 100th anniversary of Citroën exhibition in Autoworld

Citroën is celebrating its 100th anniversary that became a major theme throughout the year at various events. For me, the flagship event was the factory stage at the 44th Rétromobile classic car show in Paris, but many other events joined the celebrations from Antwerp Classics to Autoworld.

The Belgian Autoworld Museum usually hosts four to six major thematic exhibitions a year, where several dozen thematic vehicles occupy the main gallery on the first floor.

In between the main exhibitions, two ground floor exposition spaces are available for smaller (sometimes ad hoc) presentations encompassing about a dozen cars.

This year Autoworld’s major summer exhibition lists over fifty cars commemorating the history of the Brand bearing the double chevron.

The organisers could rely on a wide range of collaborations with Citroën Belux and the Belgian Citroën Clubs, but also with notable contribution from the Conservatoire Citroën to conjure the most emblematic Citroën cars and many rare or even unique vehicles.

 

From the Type A through to the C3 Pluriel, with iconic models such as the Dyane, Ami6 and Méhari and many competition and rally cars. Before the visit, I recommend visiting Citroën’s historical catalogue website Citroën Origins launched a few years ago.

 

The exhibition remains open until the 3rd September at the Autoworld museum, and there is also a Citroën 100 years parade planned for the 14th July.

  1. Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.

    Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re
    using? (and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate
    any feedback) – it’s still in the works.

    Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of
    yourself during the coronavirus scare!

    • Hi,
      I just spotted the comment, sorry for the slow reaction.

      I just changed to a theme called Newspaper X, from an earlier theme called Newspapers.
      These are rather affordable ones and give plenty of customisation. The first one was on WordPress, but short after buying it it was removed and the company disappeared (yet they seem to reappear).

      Tagdiv seems like more real company with a support that exists (at least they replied to my questions). This support is also needed as the updates is quite fastidous (whereas the Newspapers provider ThemezWP simply disappeared without support or updates).

      One piece of advice, do a backup before setting up a new theme (in my case Bluehost can reset but they backup once every 2-3 days).
