LeMay - America's Car Museum was opened on June 2, 2012 and contains mainly the cars donated by Harold LeMay, a successful entrepreneur who amassed the largest private car collection.
The present museum is located on a 10 acre area near the Tacoma Dome and was presented by the city of Tacoma to preserve and showcase rare and unique auto items of his collection.
Now the museum houses 350 cars, each of them is unique and represents its own period, tendency and influence on technological progress in general.
The building of the museum has a modern design and houses the car gallery with the area of 165,000 square feet. In addition to sparkling and tremendous exhibits the building includes restoration shops, gift shops, galleries, lecture halls, a banquet room, and a café.
