“Executive Director’s Corner” Now Open
 Words from our Director: As Executive Director of the National Corvette Museum, I am thankful for the friendships that America’s Sportscar - the Corvette creates.

From time-to-time we may ask your opinion on issues that we have and hope that you will respond with your thoughts concerning them. We want to be continually improving and always moving toward fulfilling the Mission of the Museum. I look forward to hearing from you! http://www.corvettemuseum.com/blog
