Add to SetSummary
Many famous individuals have visited Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum over the years. Actors, authors, and artists have passed through the entrance gates; business leaders, royalty, politicians, and a host of others have toured the exhibits. Photographs by the institution's photographer were taken if the celebrity allowed it. In 1961, Marcel Duchamp, the unconventional artist-turned-chess player, came to the museum.
