Driving America: Opening Soon
Driving America: Opening Soon

One of the biggest highlights from my recent Detroit trip was a dinner hosted by Ford in the Henry Ford Museum. Much more than an automotive museum, the Henry Ford is a tribute to centuries of American imagination and innovation. The museum’s collection includes an astonishing 26 million items, of which only 6% are on display at any given time. We were lucky enough to get sneak peak of the yet to be unveiled exhibit  “Driving America,detailing America’s long love affair with the automobile. Here are some of my favourite pieces from the upcoming display:
