Programs
3 programs
Collection and Exhibitions: The Museum is dedicated to secure and interpret the extensive LeMay car collection as well as to acquire, preserve and interpret additional mobility collections. There are approximately 260 cars in the collection. The Museum breaks the traditional design of static displays of cars by rotating exhibitions from its vast collection and showcasing auto manufacturers' achievements and future directions in design, technology and product development. The Museum opened 2 exhibits in 2024.
Education: An interactive center for all "students" of automotive history, restoration and preservation. During 2024, the Museum continued to increase its number of education activities, such as hosting 3,000 third graders to the Museum. It has established itself as a valuable resource for the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and homeschooling communities and positioned itself as a central hub for STEM/STEAM learning.
The remaining programs primarily include the following: Event Sales - Patrons unable to attend the Museum during normal operating hours are offered the opportunity to view the collection during an after-hours event or group tour; and Retail Store - Selling various types of merchandise that relate to the Museum's exhibitions and collection. In 2025, it is planned to launch an online store.
