The museum houses around 130 cars on permanent display ranging from the earliest VW Beetles to concept design studies of VW models.[3] The museum is housed in a former clothing factory, very close to the Volkswagen Werke, where new Volkswagens are made. Since January 1992, it has been owned and operated by a charitable foundation, Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen.[1]
