Cars, thanks to their size, weight, and mass-market image, rarely make their way into the world’s elite art museums.

The show, entitled “Motion: Autos, Art, Architecture” and on view through September 18, seeks to cast the history of the automobile in artistic, and even architectural, terms. The cars, which are displayed in ten exhibition spaces in the museum’s Frank Gehry-designed building, are surrounded by artworks and representations of architecture that illustrate the links across multiple artistic disciplines.
