Tinker. Hack. Invent. Saturdays Every Saturday, every month (10am - 2pm) It’s a weekly celebration of American ingenuity. We call it Tinker. Hack. Invent. and it takes place every Saturday. Join our Tinker Task Force and have a blast trying your hand at all sorts of things. Then, on the last Saturday of every month, we open our doors to crafters, basement scientists, hobbyists, inventive foodies, tinkerers — the kind of folks you’ll find at our annual Maker Faire — and ask them to share their expertise and enthusiasm with museum visitors. Americans are famous for their ingenuity and resourcefulness, for their eagerness to improve and explore new ideas. This is your chance to learn firsthand how that spirit is alive and well today. Come explore your own ingenuity. Try your hand at something new, something different. The activities change month to month. Hands-on. How-to, DIY, science and more! The only limitation is your imagination. And it’s free* with museum admission or membership.
*Some supply fees may apply.
Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power May 17 - August 17, 2014 On its final U.S. tour stop, Women Who Rock is a collection of must-see memorabilia from the most-recognized women in rock and roll history.
Immerse yourself in the greatest show-stopping moments from the Queen of Soul, the Mother of Punk and the Divas of Pop. Aretha. Madonna. Mahalia. Janis and more. Relive the soundtrack of your life.
This is the closest you’ll get to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without actually being there. From Joan Jett’s infamous black leather jacket to Chrissie Hynde’s sassy blue Fender and even Lady Gaga’s notorious meat dress, this is a dazzling backstage pass to rock’s most memorable eye candy and the women of rock’s most significant contributions. Joni Mitchell’s handwritten lyrics are here, too and Patti Smith’s famed clarinet.
Don’t just look. Add a piece of yourself. Step into our recording booth, hit “record” and leave behind your own thoughts and reflections for posterity.
More than attitude. More than music.
This is history for your ears. At Henry Ford Museum®.
This exhibit is presented by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
