After a 12km bike ride from my boat, I went to visit the VW museum in Wolfsburg.
There is a rather impressive collection of veteran cars (of many makes) . The beetle below is golden, got diamonds on it’s bumpers (I don’t think they’re real though) and beautiful cloth on the inside.
Needless to point out that this is a one off, it was the millionth beetle built.
The rest of the visit was rather disappointing, the factory visit was closed, being Sunday.
Then there was these really nice buildings presenting the different brands of the group (VW, VW commercial, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Lamborghini and Bugatti) but you’d get the same sort of experience visiting your local car dealer!
You get to sit in a car and that’s pretty much it (oh, that was not the case with Lamborghini and Bugatti). Not much technical stuff or history. I was expecting to be totally blown away by what VW could do in such a great environment.
The experience with Bugatti consist of seeing a car with a mirror paint job, surrounded by mirrors and neon lighting (ok nice pictures but that’s it!)
As for Lamborghini, there’s a car hanging on a wall, a lot of smoke(some going up, some coming down), a few light, strobing and very loud sound effects…
Basically if you are in the area of Wolfsburg, save your 15 Euros and go clubbing, you’ll get the same experience and maybe more…

Nice way to decorate your walls. I have never done that. My effort to beautify the walls in my house was to order big-sized canvas prints from wahooart.com, from images of western art. I use the same angel motifs in all of the rooms painted by different painters, such as this one by very interesting English artist Stanley Spencer, http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8LT7K6
