The centrepiece of World of Volvo is 4,500 square metres of exhibition space, carefully designed to showcase Volvo’s innovations and commitment to “omtanke” – consideration – emphasising safety and the well-being of people. It features some of Volvo’s most iconic vehicles, as well as a number of surprising interactive experiences. For example, visitors can try out electric excavators and experience the power of aerodynamics in a wind tunnel.

The five-storey building is more than just a brand museum for Volvo cars and trucks. It will also provide a welcoming venue for cultural events, talks, conferences and Nordic cuisine, as well as hosting a mix of temporary and permanent exhibitions.

“We aim to make every visit a new and inspiring experience,” explains Ulrika Sandford, Marketing & Communication Manager.
