Volvo Museum
The Volvo Museum is situated in Gothenburg, Sweden. It coveres the development of Sweden's leading vehicle manufacturer Volvo, from the first ÖV 4 to their then current cars, trucks, buses and other products. The museum also had displays of Volvo Aero and Volvo Penta products, and many other exhibits, including the joint desk of Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson from the pioneering years of the company. It is from 2024 part of the exhibition centre called World of Volvo.
Visitor information
The museum is called World of Volvo and located south of the theme park Liseberg.
The museum was until 2023 located in the Arendal neighborhood on Hisingen island, about 10 km (6 mi) west of Gothenburg city centre. Cruise ships which are too tall to go under the Älvsborg Bridge (45 metres (148 ft) allowed) berth nearby, which accounted for a fairly large share of visitors.
Closure and new concept and location
The museum closed just before Christmas in December of 2023, with many heritage/museum functions to be transferred to the new World of Volvo exhibition and conference centre. The new site, which is centrally located in Gothenburg, opened on 14th of April, 2024.[1][2][3]
