National Corvette Museum
The National Corvette Museum, located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is the only museum in the world dedicated to celebrating the Chevrolet Corvette. Built in 1994, the 115,000-square-foot museum features more than 70 precious Corvettes that showcase the evolution and technical characteristics of the model from 1953 to the present day. The museum also has exhibition halls, gift shops, cafes and other facilities, attracting many car fans and tourists. However, there was an accident at the museum, and on February 12, 2014, a 40-foot-long and 30-foot-deep subsidence suddenly appeared in the museum's exhibition hall, resulting in the burial of eight precious Corvettes in the ground. Although there were no casualties, the accident left a lasting impression on the museum and car fans.
