The museum is housed within a circular glass and steel building over 22 m (72 ft) high.[2] The building was designed by Gunter Henn, and the museum concept was developed by KMS (under the creative direction of Michael Keller and Christoph Rohrer).

Inside the building, there is a permanent exhibition of about 50 cars and 30 motorcycles and bicycles, as well as numerous other exhibits relating to the history of the Audi, DKW, Horch, Wanderer and NSU brands.[1][2]

A special feature of the museum is a paternoster lift, which displays 14 cars in constant motion.[3]
