This is part of my previous post of cycling through the Val-de-Travers valley. I came to this roundabout and saw the brown sign with "Musee VW" on it. Hmm, since there're so many watch companies in the valley could it be some kind of watch related museum?
I head down the side road a bit and then stop and ask these guys if they know the way to the museum. Don't know if they could see me with all that hair in their faces.
Anyway, I spot this museum sign and hang a right---taking me through a small, kind of rundown industrial park.
Could this be the place?
Looks to be some kind of an old storage facility that has seen better days.
Holy moly, it's a Volkswagen museum! Actually its official name is "The Volkswrecks Bar & Museum. Created in 2006 and occupying three floors, it's home to over 150 vehicles.
The vehicles date between 1950 and 1979. The place reeks of oil and grease like in an old smelly car repair garage.
Beetles and camper vans are lined up on the ground floor.
Look at this stretch VW Beetle limo.
The bathrooms are behind the door.
Another view of stretch limo.
Love this mosaic tile covered Beetle.
One part of the second level houses a bar with bandstand for live music.
Second and third levels house cars with themes.
Love the rear "throne" seats.
There're VW police cars, VW ambulances.
This one is being done up with mosaic tiles.
This one is called "Bronx". Note the graffiti, shopping cart and even the mannequin holding a ghetto blaster on his lap. This quirky museum was worth the $10 entrance fee
