National Corvette Museum
The official museum of the Chevrolet Corvette, displaying models from every generation and the prized cars swallowed by a sinkhole in 2014.
The National Corvette Museum is in Bowling Green, right next to the General Motors plant that builds the Corvette. Its galleries display more than 80 Corvettes, from the first generation in 1953 to the latest mid-engine models. The most famous exhibit is the Sinkhole Exhibit. In 2014 an approximately 18-meter-wide karst sinkhole suddenly opened in the museum floor, swallowing eight prized cars. Today the museum shows both restored and unrestored vehicles along with a cross-section of the sinkhole. Outside, a racetrack lets visitors experience driving. The museum is about 45 km from the park, roughly a 40-minute drive.
