Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen

Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen presents over 130 production cars, prototypes and one‑offs—from early Beetles to concept cars—focused on Volkswagen’s technical and cultural history. The museum is run by a non‑profit foundation and regularly rotates temporary exhibitions and events.

Located on Wolfsburg’s eastern edge near the Volkswagen plant and Autostadt, the museum offers free parking, guided tours by appointment, and a virtual tour option. It’s a concise, focused stop for automotive enthusiasts and families visiting the area.

A compact museum with chronologically arranged displays and themed temporary exhibitions.

Look out for:

• Production models alongside prototypes and one‑off vehicles (Herbie and a wooden Beetle are recurring highlights).

• Special temporary exhibitions and restoration stories from the foundation’s volunteer program.

• A mix of technical details and cultural context—labels are in German and English.

• Small gift shop and basic visitor facilities.
