The building´s design was inspired by thoughts of movement and mobility. The building´s floor plan echoes the cross-section of a tree with its growth rings – a symbol of time. With more than 120 exhibits tracing over 100 years of automotive history, time becomes palpable. The heritage of the Audi brand is brought to life here, as is the evolution of mobility as a whole – an unforgettable experience for all generations. Visitors can take the lift to embark on a journey through time. It starts off on the top level in 1899 with August Horch. Here, visitors can marvel at rare and extremely valuable exhibits from the pre-war era. It is not just the age of the models from the traditional Audi, Horch, NSU, DKW and Wanderer brands that makes them so fascinating, it is their historical and social context too. From state carriages to Silver Arrows, there is a passion for motoring everywhere you look. Time travel continues on the next level down, starting with the year 1945: here, many visitors will recognise “their favourite Audi” from bygone times and make some interesting discoveries. Multimedia displays dotted around the whole exhibition area visualise events from the colourful past of the four rings. The technology gallery, featuring interactive hands-on exhibits on material science and engines, provides an overview of the major milestones in the development of the car. The journey through the Audi universe then moves into the future, with a glimpse of sensational vehicle studies well ahead of our time. One example is the Audi RSQ, which serves as Will Smith´s futuristic company car in the Hollywood blockbuster “I, Robot”. Museum – fun for every generation Fascinating history The museum mobile is dedicated to mobility! The paternoster lift visible from all levels of the museum The ultimate in paternoster lifts keeps 14 cars in constant vertical motion through the exhibition.

Motorsport fans visiting the museum mobile would undoubtedly love to get straight behind the wheel of the original Audi DTM and Le Mans 24 Hours racing cars on show here. Anything here that looks old is old! The museum shop is a treasure-trove for keen collectors, where all sorts of paraphernalia – from tank cap to hub cap – that appeared on actual cars decades ago can become your own. Besides these rarities, the museum shop also Browsing in the museum shop stocks a wide range of products, including high-quality technical literature, DVDs, stylish lifestyle articles, numerous miniatures, and many more items that would send the pulse of any motorsport enthusiast racing.

Since 2001, the jazz programme has attracted many thousands of enchanted fans. The two formats – “Jazz at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt” and “After Work Jazz Lounge” – have become firm favourites with jazz aficionados. And at some concerts, the Audi design piano makes an appearance. 22|Jazz Jazz stars on stage Jazz concerts are regularly held in the auditorium of the museum mobile, whose unique architecture provides the backdrop for live performances of international jazz acts. Though the repertoire ranging from classic to modern jazz, swing, vocal pieces or gospel may be diverse, there are some constants: musical perfection and virtuosity. Performances have included jazz stars like Klaus Doldinger, Paul Kuhn, Ray Brown, Al Porcino, and many more. The ultimate jazz chill-out On Thursdays at 6.30 pm, the Bar & Lounge at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt hums to the sound of strummed strings and tinkling piano keys. Here, guests can relax in a laid-back atmosphere as they listen to top artists from the German jazz scene. Wind down after work with a drink and soothing background rhythms. 10 years of “Jazz at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt” When the first jazz concert, performed by the trio headed by bass player Ray Brown, was held at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt on Thursday, May 17, 2001, nobody could have foreseen that it would develop into such a long-running and successful concert series. Since then, around 50,000 visitors have attended some 380 concerts of excellent quality, performed in the cinema auditorium of the museum mobile or on Thursdays starting at 6.30 pm (with the exception of the summer months) in the Bar & Lounge as part of the “After Work Jazz Lounge” series.
