Volvo Museum, Transport museum in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Description
Volvo Museum presents the company's vehicle evolution, from cars and trucks to buses and marine engines displayed across multiple exhibition levels. The collection spans from the first ÖV4 model to modern vehicles, showing technical innovations across different eras.
History
The museum was founded to preserve Volvo's industrial heritage but closed in late 2023, transitioning to a new venue called World of Volvo that opened in 2024. This shift allowed the collection to be presented again with updated exhibition methods.
Culture
The museum shows how Volvo shaped Swedish engineering and how safety became central to car design over the decades. The exhibits reveal technical breakthroughs that changed how people drive.
Practical
The museum sits west of Gothenburg and offers free parking plus wheelchair access for visitors with mobility needs. It opens Tuesday through Sunday with hours that change by season.
Did you know?
The exhibition contains the original desk where Volvo founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson worked out plans for the company's first vehicles. This workspace is a rare artifact from the company's earliest days.
