The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America has reached an agreement with the Detroit Science Center to relocate a significant portion of the Hall\u2019s collection of vehicles and displays to the Science Center. The Hall was previously located in the Novi Expo Center in suburban Novi, but a number of cars, exhibits and other displays began arriving at the downtown museum last December. The collection features Indycars, Stock Cars, Can-Am, Trans-Am, Sprint Cars, Powerboats, drag racing, motorcycles, air racing, and even racing snowmobiles. It also showcases exhibits and photographs of the personalities, manufacturers, and machines that give the sport its rich legacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Detroit Science Center is the ideal location for the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America to call its new home,\u201d said Hall of Fame president Ron Watson. \u201cBoth institutions seek to inspire and educate by showcasing technology and engineering. The vehicles in our collection are a testament to this shared mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honored to welcome the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America to the Detroit Science Center and to share its wonderful collection with our visitors,\u201d commented Center president and CEO Kevin F. Prihod.<\/p>\n
Admission to the Hall of Fame is included in the standard Science Center museum admission. The interactive museum is one of the 10 largest science museums in the United States, and has been designed to inspire visitors to pursue and support careers in engineering, technology, and science. It features five theaters, including Michigan\u2019s only IMAX\u00ae Dome Theatre, the Dassault Syst\u00e8mes Planetarium, the Toyota Engineering Theater, the DTE Energy Sparks Theater, and the Chrysler Science Stage, as well as a 9,000-square-foot Science Hall for traveling exhibits.
