Henry Ford Museum 5 -- A Variety of Artifacts, August 2008 ... Nikon D300
This fifth of five galleries is an attempt to show the wide range of interesting artifacts exhibited at the Henry Ford Museum, which I visited in early August 2008. One item that I saw in the 1980s and was looking forward to seeing again -- Mahatma Gandhi's spinning wheel -- was not on display this time. I hope they bring it back soon. The museum's Web address is http://www.thehenryford.org .
I shot all the photos here with a handheld Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom. All the images are as-is straight from the camera, with no post-processing applied. However, I resized them for online viewing.
