What to See#

• Main Exhibition Halls: Exhibition halls present the company’s history with passenger cars, commercial vehicles, industrial engines and concept models tracing Volvo’s development from its founding era onward.
• Commercial Vehicles Collection: A collection of historic commercial vehicles and trucks illustrates Volvo’s role in heavy transport and industrial vehicle design.

• Visit midweek in the morning; the Volvo Museum sits on Hisingen north of central Gothenburg near the Volvo production area, so allow extra time for public-transport connections or parking if you're driving.
• Start at the top and work down-the exhibits are arranged chronologically, so following the route gives a clear narrative of Volvo's development and helps you see highlights efficiently.
• Check the museum website before you go for temporary exhibits, guided-talk times and special events (some displays and the shop have restricted opening hours).
