The exhibition transforms the museum’s Level 2 Collection Gallery into a chronological narrative of American mobility. Visitors will find a curated selection of automobiles and motorcycles sourced from both the museum's permanent collection and private lenders. Beyond the machinery itself, the display examines the craftsmanship and design philosophies that connected isolated communities and powered the country’s growth throughout the 20th century.
