The National Corvette Museum is building a Collection Facility on our campus to support the growth of the collection for decades to come, allowing the Museum to accept additional rare vehicles and historically significant materials that tell the full story of Corvette design, innovation, racing, and culture. It will also provide the Museum with additional exhibition space, enhancing storytelling and offering the behind-the-scenes experiences that Members and guests value.
Preserving the Past. Building the Future.
The National Corvette Museum is expanding. Our new 66,000-square-foot Collections Facility, set to open in Fall 2026, will serve as the future home for some of the world’s most important historic Corvettes, Corvette artifacts, and Corvette preservation efforts.
Why is a New Collections Facility Needed?
What This Facility Will Offer
Honoring the Icons of Corvette
The new Collections Facility will significantly increase the Museum’s capacity for vehicle preservation, small artifact conservation, and long-term storage, while also supporting public education and guest engagement.
Public Behind-the-Scenes Access
Once complete, the Museum will offer behind-the-scenes tours for visitors looking to explore Corvette’s past in new ways, offering unprecedented public access to the Museum’s collection.
Room to Grow
The Museum is growing its collection faster than our current spaces can support. This facility will allow us to care for these treasures at the highest level for decades to come, while sharing them with Members, guests, and future generations.
A Glimpse at the Future
Opening in Fall 2026, the new Collections Facility is a strategic investment guided by donor support, museum stewardship, and Corvette pride. Behind every square foot is a commitment to preserving America’s Sports Car.
”This expansion project is about creating a sustainable future and preserving the full story of Corvette.
