Key Features:
1. Near Me
The app responds to your location in the museum, alerting you to nearby experiences.
2. Audio Tours
Dive deeper into the stories and artifacts around you, and explore connections across exhibits with immersive audio tours. As you follow turn-by-turn directions, hear from the museum’s curators as they tell stories of triumph, discovery and failure.
3. Interact - AR
Add a virtual layer to artifacts at the museum, and create your own AR “Mashup” from pieces of The Henry Ford’s collection.
4. Featured Artifacts
Locate and learn about featured artifacts throughout the museum with THF Artifact Cards.
5. Digital Membership Card
Access your membership card from anywhere.
6. Review Your Visit

7. Things to Do
Discover activities at the museum, from upcoming events to hands-on experiences on the museum floor.
8. Search
Tap the search icon at any time to find a specific artifact, amenity, or content within the app.
9. Turn by Turn Directions
THF Connect provides directions from your location to anywhere in the museum—making it easier for you to follow an audio tour, or find restrooms, food, exits and more.
How does THF Connect know where you are? The Henry Ford has placed more than 500 Bluetooth beacons throughout the museum. These beacons emit a signal that your phone detects, with Bluetooth enabled. Your phone then provides your location and provides turn-by-turn directions. The Henry Ford does not track or store guest locations—this feature is strictly for your convenience.
NOTES:
- Our free Guest Wifi varies in strength throughout the museum. Please alert us if you have any issues.
- Bluetooth must be turned on for full functionality. Continued use of GPS running in the background may dramatically decrease battery life.
