👍👍 An outstanding masterpiece of a museum! Realistic and fascinating!! A true account of what Christians did to innocent people who did not share in their faith. Fascinating exploration of how destructive Christians have been throughout the ages! The museum staff is awesome, too! Perfect date nigh...

👍👍 Wow! Very impressive collection. Cars of all eras, kept and shown to great effect. Never knew this giant collection was housed so nearby in a renovated factory building on the NW side. One of the best auto museums I've seen. Highly recommend spending at least a couple of hours there.
