Paul Galloway on the Volkswagen Beetle

In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, Paul Galloway, collection specialist in the Department of Architecture and Design, talks about the Volkswagen Beetle—unexpected design success, countercultural icon, and a personal symbol of joy, adventure, family, and remembrance.

Explore our collection work by work as we release a new video each Friday. Watch the videos and then come visit the works in person at MoMA!
