Bowling Green, Kentucky: National Corvette Museum

Exhibits include 80+ Corvettes. In 2014 a sinkhole opened beneath the central dome, swallowing eight cars. The five most damaged Corvettes were kept as-is for display, and a "Corvette Cave-In!" exhibit opened in 2016.

Sinkhole wreck.

Corvette Museum

In February 2014 the Corvette Museum Sky Dome exhibit floor collapsed into a giant underground cavern. Eight of the most valuable Corvettes in the world were destroyed. One was worth over a million dollars prior to the cave-in.

Pretty cool place. Took about 90 minutes to get through. Sinkhole exhibit was interesting!

Great exhibit, plus the explanation of the cave and sinkhole.

The sinkhole in the showroom of the museum has been filled in. My group was disappointed because we came more to see the sinkhole than see the pristine Corvettes. But the trashed cars are still on display. And the other Corvettes are beautiful to see.

The Museum is aware of the popularity of its lost hole, and is building a "Sinkhole Experience" attraction to debut in 2016.
