They are in

%windir%\Assembly

which is displayed via a shell extension in explorer.

If you want to see the underlying physical files map a drive to the location eg.

\%compname%\c$\Windows\assembly

and you'll get the full view.

It's %WINDIR%\Assembly

P.S. The best way to look at this folder is with Windows Explorer, because custom file managers may show unneeded technical folders etc.

The assembly cache is usually stored in %windir%\assembly.
