Uus väljapanek Volvo muuseumis

Veebruari lõpus avas Volvo Trucks president Staffan Jufors pidulikult Volvo muuseumis uue väljapaneku.


Ootusärevus valdas Volvo Trucks juhtkonda, kui Staffan Jufors avas uue väljapaneku Volvo muuseumis Göteborgis. Esimest korda Volvo muuseumi ajaloos pühendati eraldi väljapanek veokitele.

„Tegemist on tõelise tõukega veokite sektsioonile muuseumis ning väljapanek näeb tõeliselt hea välja,“ ütles Staffan Jufors, kui oli lõiganud lindi ning kuulutanud uue väljapaneku ametlikult avatuks.
Uus veokite osa on paigutatud ladusamalt ning parem on ka informatsiooni kuvamine – erinevad Volvo ajastud on selgelt välja toodud. Muuseumi kuraator Sten-Åke Lyngstam tutvustas uhkusega uut väljapanekut: “uus osa võtab enda alla enam kui 2000 ruutmeetrit. Oleme eemaldanud mõned eksponaadid ning eesmärgiks on välja tuua kõige tähtsamad Volvo veokite verstapostid alates 1928 aastast tänaseni. Eriti mõned eksponaadid väärivad lisatähelepanu, näiteks piimaauto 1940ndatest ja metsaveok 1950ndatest. Lisaks muidugi erinevad huvitavad komponendid – näiteks kabiinid, mootorid ja käigukastid.“
20st näitusel olevast veokist on kuraatoril selgelt oma lemmik: Volvo LV101 aastast 1945, mille disain on eriline ning mis peale sõda suuremaid veokeid toetas. Tegemis on tõelise aardega.
Volvo Trucks president, Staffan Jufors, oli näitusest äärmiselt huvitatud ning oli eriti rahul sellega, et veokitel on nüüdsest rohkem ruumi muuseumis leitud.

“Olen väga rahul sellega, et Volvo Trucks, mis on suur osa Volvo Group’st, on saanud ka vastavalt selgelt eristuva osa muuseumis.”
Volvo muuseum alustas tööd 1995 aastal ning on avatud iga päev, va esmaspäev. Volvo töötajatele on sissepääs tasuta, tavapärane sisenemistasu on täiskasvanutele 50 SEK, lastele kuni 12 aastat 20SEK, perepilet 100SEK ja suurematele kui 30 inimeste gruppidele 35 SEK/inimene. Parkimine on tasuta.
