Welcome to
Saab Car Museum
and a journey with Saab
From June 6 to September 30, 2026, the Saab Car Museum is showcasing more cars at one time than ever before. This has been made possible by temporarily expanding into the event venue Nova Arena, located close to the museum’s premises in Nohab’s historic locomotive factory.
Normally, around 70 cars are on display, but the temporary exhibition The Box features as many as 115 of the approximately 140 vehicles in the museum’s collection.
Most of the museum’s cars remained with Saab after production and belong to categories such as prototypes, test vehicles, company cars, racing cars, and design concepts. The exhibition includes everything from the very first prototype, the Saab 92001 from 1946—better known as the “Ursaab”—to the very last models built before production was permanently discontinued.

In a unique setting marked by traces of Swedish industrial history, you can experience Saab cars from a new perspective in modern facilities. The museum first opened its doors in 1975, in the basement beneath the former Saab-ANA dealership complex. For Saab’s 50th anniversary in 1987, a new museum was opened in the NOHAB industrial area, and this is where we remain today, nearly 15 years after Saab Automobile’s bankruptcy.
From June 6 to September 30, 2026, you can find us at Nova Arena, housed in Building 88, which dates back to 1959. Originally, NOHAB used this building to manufacture, among other things, giant turbine wheels for hydroelectric power plants. The museum has now created the exhibition The Box, where we are displaying more cars at one time than ever before.
