Transportation Exhibit at Henry Ford Museum, 1979
Add to SetSummary
For decades, automobiles in Henry Ford Museum were displayed in tightly packed rows with few labels and little context. That changed in the late 1970s. Uniform labels, color-coded signs and carpets, and more thoughtful displays characterized the transportation exhibit after staff reorganized the museum's Great Hall.
