Henry Ford had a love
for old machines, and collected them over the decades. His collection showed
the simple fact that newer machines are better.
A museum of his artifacts was created to show the wonder of these machines.
The design was laid out in a way that would be appealing to the visitors, using
color and interactive features to draw the viewer’s attention. It displays models of workers in factors that
provide the same theme: workers are essential to production. One display has a Model T that is in pieces
suspended from wires making it seem as a trophy. Museum visitors can go to a
generator and steam engine where they can turn a crank and see how many light
bulbs light up. This displays that laborious burden of generating electricity.
The museum displays the idea of American faith in technology, but doesn’t
mention the role of the power seeking government.
