NOVA ARENA • JUNE 6 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2026
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Experience the world’s finest Saab collection
in a large industrial hall.
The summer of 2026 will be an exciting one for all Saab enthusiasts. That’s when the Saab Car Museum will present the temporary exhibition The Box.
Between 6 June and 30 September, the Saab Car Museum will showcase more cars at one time than ever before. This is made possible by temporarily relocating to the event venue Nova Arena, just a stone’s throw from the museum’s beautiful premises in Nohab’s historic locomotive factory.
This will be a unique opportunity to experience the world’s finest Saab collection in a way that won’t return anytime in the foreseeable future.
What is The Box?
The Box is an exhibition shown for a limited time. It offers a unique opportunity to see a large part of the world’s finest collection of Saabs, which is managed by the Saab Car Museum.
In our regular premises, we usually display 70 to 80 cars. In total, the museum’s collection includes around 140 cars. The majority of these will be shown in The Box. We won’t be able to show ”everything”, but “almost everything” goes a long way – trust us.
The Box will appeal to anyone interested in seeing the greatness of the models that made the Saab brand both beloved and missed. You can also expect to see one or two cars that the Saab Car Museum has never shown to the public during its fifty-year history.
Why are we creating The Box?
Since 1987, the Saab Car Museum has been housed in Nohab’s old locomotive factory in the Innovatum District. The building, erected in 1906, is charming and full of history. Both we and our visitors love it, but it’s now time to renovate the roof and the skylights that fill the museum with its beautiful natural light.
During the roof renovation, the museum must be emptied. This gave us an opportunity to create something memorable for our visitors by establishing The Box in a nearby venue.
Where will The Box be shown?
The Box will be shown in Nova Arena, just a few hundred meters from the Saab Car Museum. Nova Arena is housed in the former industrial hall Building 88, constructed in 1959 for turbine assembly. The hall has also been used for lock-gate repairs, steel construction manufacturing, and film productions.
Today, this industrial space from a bygone era is a modern arena that typically hosts concerts, stage shows, fairs, and conferences. With a breathtaking ceiling height of 25 meters and 2,700 square meters of floor space, Nova Arena is perfectly suited for events that go beyond the ordinary – and that is exactly what The Box is all about!
Will the museum close?
Oh no! On the contrary – we will make more cars available than we normally can. So instead of closing during the roof renovation, we are opening up the treasure box and inviting visitors to enjoy a wide selection of the wonderful cars Saab has built over the years. However, in order to carry out The Box while the roof is being renovated, the Saab Car Museum needs to be closed during May and October 2026.
Opening hours
The Saab Car Museum will remain open as usual in the regular premises until Sunday, 3 May. On Sweden’s National Day, Saturday, 6 June 2026, we will celebrate by opening The Box at Nova Arena. This will mark the start of a very exciting exhibition, whose doors will close on Wednesday, 30 September.
This means that the Saab Car Museum will not be able to receive visitors between 4 May and 5 June 2026, and we therefore direct all visitors either to come before that period or to visit the museum once The Box opens on 6 June. As always, all current opening hours will be presented on the “Opening Hours” page Opening hours.
