MUSEUM HOPPING IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT

MOTOR CITY WHEELCHAIR MOBILITY 

While you explore, enjoy the views of the city’s historic skyline.

Once the fourth-largest city in the U.S. and home to an almost-unmatched industrial center, Detroit still has fabulous, ornate skyscrapers from the 1920s and 1930s.

Albert Kahn, the great architect of towers and industry, left a legacy of buildings worthy of the finest seen in New York or Chicago.

Less than a mile west of Woodward, on Berry Gordy Jr. Boulevard, aka West Grand Boulevard, you’ll find the Motown Museum.

One of the greatest small museums in the nation, the Motown Museum offers hundreds of gold records, colorful stage costumes of famous male and female acts, and tons of other fascinating memorabilia.

Lifetime Detroiter and an ADA coordinator for Disability Network Wayne County Detroit, Jaime Junior praises the museum for adding accessibility to a pair of old houses that Berry Gordy Jr., founder of the Motown record label, bought and expanded into when Motown was more a dream than the star factory that it became.
