Crawford Museum of Transportation and Industry

Location: Cleveland, Ohio
Designed by: Jack Rouse & Associates

Antique autos sit within time-frame dioramas as vintage airplanes hover above. Recreated buildings set the cultural backdrop such as a radio control tower, a production-line factory and a UFO inspired gas station. A barge drifting along the Cuyahoga in the Flats passes local heavy industries among mounds of raw materials. Another exhibit explains the workings of an industrial laboratory, while a film simulates flight within a dirigible inspired theater. Industrial remnants and artifacts are transformed into the children's play zone. This 'white model' was used in the museum's design and layout.
