Chris,

There are two VW museums in Wolfsburg. There's the "old" museum that
you visited in Diesel Strasse, the exhibits are all VW. The other is
the "Zeit Haus" in the Autostadt which is mainly VW, but also has
some small exhibits on the brands that VW owns...Lamborghini, Audi,
Bugatti, Bentley, etc. At the Autostadt museum, VW has recreated some
of the early prototypes from 34 & 35, and also it houses John
Lennon's VW beetle which was on the cover of the Abbey Road album.
