Add to SetSummary
Interpretive methods for artifacts in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation changed over the decades. Early visitors saw automobiles with little in the way of labeling beyond license plates with a make and model year. In time, labels evolved into descriptive paragraphs, complete with illustrations, that placed each of the museum's cars in a broader historical context.
