Although it has become the mother's body that, as for Henry Ford Museum, Henry Ford established Edison Institute in 1929.The museum is an independent ,nonprofit ,educational institution that is not connected with or supported by the Ford Motor Company or the Ford Foundation in present.
The outdoors can see the circumference by the steam locomotive in the place of having collected the building which calls greenfield village and commemorates the old U.S. Site area is about 254-acre. 		Henry Ford is collecting various kinds of apparatus which there is also a relation which associated with Thomas Edison intimately , and Edison invented. Exhibition elegance of a lighting relation is also exhibited in various large quantities from the thing before an electric bulb. The bronze statue of Thomas Edisonis is in green field village. In addition to this there are a dwelling of Edison, the Edison Illuminating Company , Henry Ford Birthplace, Wright Home etc..
It is the biography which included the relations with Ford and Edison.A surrounding incandescent lamps are considered to be the incandescent lamp invented in 1979. (Or, it may be it since the replica of the same incandescent lamp as a photograph was manufactured in commemoration of incandescent lamp invention 100 anniversaries in 1979). The filament which it asked material of a filament from world every place by the time Edison invented the practical incandescent lamp, and carbonized the bamboo of Kyoto is that it was powerful (life). It succeeds in reproducing the incandescent lamp which will carbonize the same bamboo as Edison before several years at the Yokosuka factory of the Toshiba Lighting and Technology Corporation, and it is broadcast on the program to which Yamaguchi broadcast of NHK introduces the great man (Ichisuke Fujioka) of a hometown. Five upper incandescent lamps are things when the show of Smithsonian museum is held in Japan. Since it will be in 1879 that Edison invented the incandescent lamp, since the incandescent lamp of the center of a photograph has the explanation with the thing in 1880, it will seem to be the thing for less than 1 year. A surrounding thing is the explanation with improvement elegance by 1884. Manufacture of the incandescent lamp in Japan was performed by Ichisuke Fujioka in the Tanaka manufacture place of past of present Toshiba Corp. in 1890 (Meiji 23). It is a thing after 11 years that Edison invented the incandescent lamp. The incandescent lamps of this time, the letter from Edison etc. are exhibited by the Toshiba science hall of a Kawasaki city. Latest technology and the latest application products, such as the multimedia, are also exhibited.
A design of the same idea as the latest present floodlight or the reflector of HID luminaire for high ceilings is carried out with the reflector which the upper photograph makes reflect light of a candle efficiently. I had many hints applicable to present so that I thought that what was necessary was just to have come earlier, when visiting here. The vehicle from early T type Ford to today is collected.Moreover, the same thing as special car carried at the moon is exhibited. Many large-sized exhibition elegance which was the star is in each time, such as a spinning machine, a steamy engine vehicle, and an early airplane. Henry Ford Museum is situated in the place of about 1 hour by the vehicle from the down town of Detroit.
