ETHLEHEM, PA —
Amy Hollander, the
president and CEO of
the National Museum of Industrial History welcomed
about 50 members and guests
for an exclusive preview tour
in June. The Smithsonian affiliate museum will open to the
public on August 6th during
Bethlehem’s 10-day Musikfest
celebration.
Located in a 100-year-old
industrial building that was
once the electrical repair shop
of Bethlehem Steel, the museum celebrates the history of
America’s industrial past and
looks ahead to the future. A
number of exhibit items were
first displayed as the latest in
technology during the United
States’ 1876 Centennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia,
and are on loan from the
Smithsonian Museum.
The Museum is housed in
the renovated and repurposed Bethlehem Steel
Electrical Machine Shop.
Members pose beneath a life-size mural of steelworkers taking a
lunch break high above a city street. The I-beam cast at Bethlehem
Steel revolutionized construction, making tall skyscrapers possible.
Amy Hollander and others led tours throughout the
museum among displays that are still being assembled.
Robert Avitabile, the Alvin
H. Butz project manager responsible for the transformation of the building, said he
had been involved in phases
of the construction since 2005.
The board of directors of the
museum instructed the design and construction team to
consider the building itself an
CREW LV President Pam Morris
introduced the program
artifact and to approach construction in a way to highlight
the bones of building. Original
walls, trusses and building systems are on display. He credited contractors for the pride
they took throughout the job,
realizing that their work would
forever be visible to visitors.
Amy noted that all indus-
tries are comprised of people,
machinery and resources.
Great care was taken in the
preparation of interactive and
stationary displays that have
been crafted to tell the local
and national story of industries that shaped the country
and spurred America’s growth
to become a global power.
