AutoMuseum Volkswagen, Automobile museum in Wolfsburg, Germany.
AutoMuseum Volkswagen is an automobile museum housed in a former clothing factory near the Volkswagen Werke in Wolfsburg. It displays around 130 cars, from the earliest VW Beetles to concept design studies. In the exhibition space, a glossy black Beetle and a light green car with a front licence plate reading "1951" sit on a smooth grey floor beneath a row of small framed images and faint monochrome graphics on a light wall.
AutoMuseum Volkswagen opened on 25 April 1985 in Wolfsburg, one of two museums there devoted to the brand's history, alongside the nearby Autostadt. It occupies a former clothing factory close to the Volkswagen Werke, where new Volkswagens are built. Since January 1992 it has been owned and run by the charitable Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen.
The name "Volkswagen" means "people's car" and reflects the mission to create affordable vehicles for ordinary families. The collection on display shows how this vision shaped different models throughout generations.
The museum is located at Dieselstraße 35 in Wolfsburg and is open Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. Its proximity to the Volkswagen manufacturing plant makes it easy to access, and visitors should plan for one to two hours to explore the full collection.
