World of Volvo

About

World of Volvo in Gothenburg is a new cultural and experiential centre that celebrates the heritage, innovation, and future vision of the Volvo brand. Opened in 2024 in the city’s event district, it replaces the former Volvo Museum and expands the concept into a modern, immersive environment. Housed in a striking circular timber‑clad building designed by Henning Larsen, the centre blends Scandinavian architecture with sustainable materials, creating a warm and open atmosphere inspired by Swedish forests. Inside, visitors can explore Volvo’s evolution from its first cars in 1927 to contemporary electric vehicles and future mobility concepts, presented through interactive exhibits, iconic vehicles, scale models, and storytelling that highlights safety, design, and technological progress. The centre also hosts concerts, talks, workshops, and rotating exhibitions, making each visit different and dynamic. With spaces for events, a restaurant, and areas for relaxation, World of Volvo functions as both a museum and a social hub, offering an engaging journey through one of Sweden’s most influential brands in the heart of Gothenburg.
