Re: Museums, Good or Bad?
The Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Mass. is one of the best around....Check them out.
Patina, Provenance, Originality – Thoughtful Preservation of Collectible Automobiles: The Larz Anderson Auto Museum of Brookline, Massachusetts, renowned for housing America’s oldest car collection opened their new exhibit: Patina, Provenance, Originality: Thoughtful Preservation of Collectible Automobiles, on May 10th. Preservation of important automobiles, as both historic artifacts and industrial art, provides an important window into the technological ingenuity and design acumen of the early pioneers in auto manufacturing, motor racing, and the changes the automobile brought to America in the 20th Century. David Northey, Walter Owen Bentleys grandson, is seen here giving a speech to the attendees on the subject of originality.
The Larz Anderson Collection containing some of the rarest and most original early cars in the world, will be on display in addition to the vintage racing cars, and the other 1906-1955 automobiles choosen for the exhibit, to illustrate the principles that guide collectors of important automobiles. See many more photos and more info at The Old Motor.
