Exhibit in North Grand Court in Somerset Collection **ends October 25th. **
Troy, Mich – The Detroit Shoppe, Somerset Collection’s nonprofit retail and cultural destination, is marking its 15th anniversary of showcasing and supporting the iconic people, places and products that shape the great city of Detroit. With the mission of being part museum, part retail, and 100% community focused, The Detroit Shoppe has partnered with the Detroit Historical Society for an exhibition in Somerset Collection’s North Grand Court this October. The exhibition will present more than 100 pieces of Detroit artifacts and memorabilia along with a month-long calendar of events and live demonstrations.
As the centerpiece of the exhibition, Somerset Collection has refurbished the original 1961 Tiger Stadium sign, which will be displayed on stage in North Grand Court. Guests visiting The Detroit Shoppe historical exhibition will receive a special roadmap to guiding them through memorabilia highlights, which feature a concept Mustang and a Model T; a dazzling Marc Bauer-designed dress worn by Aretha Franklin; uniforms worn by Lion’s players Eddie Murray and Bobby Lane, and Red Wings legend Steve Yzerman; seats from famed venues including the Fisher Theatre (1929 seat), Fox Theatre (1955 seat) and Joe Louis Arena; a 1911 Eastern Market produce cart; a Boblo Island Amusement Park bumper car; and, a 1968 World Series banner.
Guests can also join a fun city-themed scavenger hunt throughout the exhibition, with prizes for completion including a coupon for The Detroit Shoppe and entry to win tickets to the Detroit Historical Museum.
The Detroit Shoppe is on the 3rd floor next to Macy's. North side of the Mall.
