The Henry Ford's collections contain objects that have been broken, repaired, or created through improvisation. Some objects have been altered many times, while others have led multiple lives, or served multiple purposes. These objects solve very specific practical needs or share an artistic vision. Ultimately, the objects in this group are evidence of unscripted innovation and the messiness of creative problem-solving.
