As the Red Wings celebrate its 100th season, the Detroit Historical Museum is looking back at a century of Motor City hockey.
Detroit Red Wings at 100: Becoming Hockeytown is set to open at the museum on Thursday, Nov. 20. The multi-media exhibition features rarely seen artifacts, uniforms from some of the team’s most legendary players, and audio and video clips of the team’s greatest moments.
The massive exhibition is spread out across three galleries at the museum, and also encompasses other pro hockey teams in the city, including the Detroit Falcons and the Detroit Cougars.
“It’s an honor to see a century of Red Wings history brought to life at the Detroit Historical Museum,” said Asia Gholston, Ilitch Sports + Entertainment Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing. “Every decade has its own defining moments, and this exhibit gives our fans a special opportunity to celebrate the passion, pride, and legacy that have defined 100 years of Red Wings hockey.”
The Detroit Historical Museum is located at 5401 Woodward Ave., Detroit. More information is available at detroithistorical.org.
