01
Artifact Overview
"Roads of the World" was part of the Ford Rotunda in Dearborn, Michigan. Visitors to this attraction rode new Ford vehicles through reproductions of 19 famous roadways from around the world. Ford used reference photographs (and $176,000 for landscaping) to construct a realistic, immersive experience. This image helped recreate a section of Italy's Appian Way, an ancient Roman road.
