Teevens’ MVP Part of Smithsonian Exhibit at the National Museum of American History

The MVP is now featured in a new exhibition, which opened March 15 at the National Museum of American History called Change Your Game, presented by the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.
