Museum Information
DESCRIPTION
The small city of Köping is an industrial town with proud traditions. The mechanical works, named after the city – Köpings Mekaniska Verkstad (KMV) – were founded in 1856. Already in 1926 they began manufacturing gearboxes for AB Volvo. In an industrial estate, where once the mechanical works that took its name from the city – Köpings Mekaniska Verkstad – were located is today a fascinating automotive and technological Museum. Here we treasure the heritage of some of Sweden’s most devoted automobile historians, Bertil Lindblad and Curt Borgenstam. Here are famous cars and legendary marques, such as Bugatti, Voisin and Panhard-Levassor as well as immortal classics from Cadillac, Bentley and Rolls-Royce, plus a large number of motorcycles, automobilia and items from our technological heritage.
