They have a Death Mask of Nikola Tesla on Pedestal, 1943, and Laboratory Model of Tesla Motor, circa 1895 but the motor is on loan to the Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago, IL)

They really don't have anything much on Tesla there. They glorify Edison everywhere. No credit to Tesla on anything. Not even a Tesla coil.

Yes there are a few tesla items and references at different displays. If you are in the village and happen to catch the Tom Edison exhibit they talk about tesla and to the difference in mind set between the two.

If you mean Tesla Motors then the answer is no. But they have very little items of Nicholai Tesla. I see that they support the public ideas of Edison vs the reality of him ripping of people and slashing his name of the patent.

They do have a couple of items as noted by Ron earlier. The death mask is in the Made In America exhibit located behind the exhibit With Liberty and Justice for All.

Doesn't seem like it, as I didn't see one at the museum when I went yesterday, 4-9-2019

Edison was Fords guy. Tesla was the enemy

Was there 12/27/18. The Tesla Death mask is there, the letter, the Tesla photographs. You could certainly call during business hours and ask a staffer. The motors are still out on loan to Chicago Il. Nikola Tesla the man has no connection to Tesla the car company (Elon Musk) has nothing to do with Nikola Tesla. So no, I didn't see any Elon Musk Tesla pieces at the museum.

Wondering if the Q is about Tesla the man or the modern day brand. The answers seem to assume one or the other.

Joseph Roose | Oct 26, 2018

We were just there. Did not notice anything belonging to Tesla, but with so much to look at, it may have been missed.

Jonathan | Oct 26, 2018

No there's nothing related to Tesla

Corey Robinson | Oct 26, 2018

Mauricio Vasco | Oct 26, 2018
