The Volkswagen AutoPavilion Museum, situated at the Kariega plant in Gqeberha, South Africa, offers a compelling exploration of Volkswagen's more than 70 years of impact and heritage within the nation. As the cornerstone of Volkswagen's vehicle production since 1951, producing over 4 million vehicles and serving as the largest private employer in Nelson Mandela Bay, this museum not only highlights Volkswagen's significant contributions to local community development and the economy but also immerses visitors in the brand's pioneering legacy. The museum's premier exhibition, showcasing the story of Volkswagen in South Africa, features "Bongo", the initial Beetle crafted in Kariega in 1951, alongside other iconic models that have shaped the country's automotive landscape.

The factory tour was truly amazing and totally worth every second. Learning and seeing the robotics at work was a marvel.

It was my first visit with my little girls and we all loved it. They had such a great time admiring the "beetles", playing the games and the "design a car" art was the cherry on top! Will definitely visit again 🤗
