About National Corvette Museum

The National Corvette Museum tells the story of the Chevrolet Corvette, built since 1953 and made today only at the General Motors plant nearby in Bowling Green. The museum opened to the public in September 1994. On February 12, 2014, a sinkhole opened beneath the Skydome and swallowed eight rare Corvettes, and an exhibit now lets you virtually recover the cars. The collection also includes a 1967 Sting Ray once owned by astronaut Neil Armstrong.
