Roberta,

There is an exhibit shown in the link representing the skeletal structure of two dinosaurs, possibly animatronic. There is mention of the museum being founded in 1966 and large numbers of artifacts being put into storage. And the Sloan Museum being named after Alfred P. Sloan, an early GM director.  No mention of automobiles to be exhibited when the museum re-opens next month. Are they converting the place into a general science museum, or having early GM cars & corporate history plus dinosaurs, etc.? Maybe the article had limited space to tell the full story.

Jeff, there was a dinosaur display at the temporary location of the museum, next  up is a Robot Zoo, cars are on display at the temporary location at the Courtland Center Mall just down the street from the Museum. Look here for the current info. Hope that helps.

Thank you for more info. I've never been there and didn't know about the temporary auto exhibit at an outlying site.
