The Iconic Skydome
The Skydome is the National Corvette Museum’s most iconic gallery and a Bowling Green landmark. Designed by Neumann/Smith Architecture, it was created to be futuristic and instantly recognizable. Its round shape resembles a Corvette speedometer when viewed from above, while its bright yellow paint and towering red spire make it a standout for travelers on Interstate 65. Despite its name, the Skydome is technically a frustum, with a conical base and a red spire reaching 128 feet high, topped with lights visible for miles. As part of the Museum’s award-winning architecture, the Skydome embodies the speed and excitement of America’s Sports Car.
Discover the Sinkhole
On February 12, 2014, a natural disaster struck the National Corvette Museum when a massive sinkhole unexpectedly opened beneath the iconic Skydome, swallowing eight cherished Corvettes. Explore the sinkhole recovery, exclusive exhibits, and more.
