Join us at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum from now until January 12 for Das Museumsprogramm: Past, Present, and Future, an extraordinary exhibit presented in partnership with Volkswagen of America. This event showcases the evolution of Volkswagen through some of its most iconic vehicles, including the 1949 Volkswagen Beetle, the 1967 21-Window Bus, the 1984 GTI, and the futuristic 2025 ID. Buzz.
From beloved classics like the 1961 Karmann Ghia Convertible to innovative designs such as the 2004 R32, this exhibit celebrates Volkswagen’s remarkable impact on automotive culture. We invite visitors to bring canned goods on opening day to support Philabundance and help our community this holiday season.
