Volvo Museum

Story

The Volvo Museum is in Gothenburg, Sweden. It covers the development of Sweden's leading vehicle manufacturer Volvo, from the first ÖV 4 to the current cars, trucks, buses and other products. The museum also contains many other exhibits, including Gabrielsson’s and Larson’s joint desk from the pioneering years. There are also displays of Volvo Aero and Volvo Penta products.The museum is open daily except Mondays and public Swedish holidays. It is located in the Arendal area on the island Hisingen at the sea, about 10 km west of Gothenburg city centre. Follow road 155 when driving. A map is probably needed, which can be found through the coordinate link on the right top of this page. The nearest bus stop is called Arendal Skans. The Västtrafik web site can search and find connections. The museum is located at the sea outside the river mouth, and one can take a nice walk along the shore west of the museum. Cruise ships which are too tall to go under the Älvsborg Bridge (45m allowed) berth nearby, which accounts for a fairly large share of the visitors.

"A journey through Volvo’s historyAt the heart of the busy Arendal industrial park just outside Gothenburg, from where Volvo still runs parts of its global business, you will find the Volvo Museum. Set in a beautiful location right next to the sea, visitors can explore the Volvo legacy through a wide range of exhibitions that showcase not only Volvo’s iconic cars, buses and commercial vehicles, but also many other temporary displays."
