National Building Museum Honors The Parking Garage

WASHINGTON (AP) - Parking garages usually aren't the most attractive buildings in a city, but they are the subject of a new exhibit at the National Building Museum in Washington.

Curators say parking garages are more than just concrete decks. They have been showcases for innovation and at times served as platforms for the best-known architects of the 20th century. The exhibit features the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, among others, and includes art as well as footage from TV and movies.

The exhibit starts with photographs, drawings and a vintage 1927 Ford Model A.
