This was my second visit and I absolutely LOVE this place. It's an unbelievably eclectic, private collection of one man. As someone who thoroughly enjoys scouring thrift stores for old, unusual pictures and tchotchkes, this place is like a dream come true. I do wish there was an off-tram, VIP tour of sorts because there is SO much to see and appreciate, I could easily spend an entire day getting lost in the details. It's such a fascinating place...I can't recommend it enough!
This place is incredible! Spent a few hours exploring yesterday and was completely fascinated by everything that's there, far more than can be seen in a single day. This museum is certainly one of a kind and is well worth the visit. With there being 100,000 square feet of space in this old warehouse, much of it is seen by a tram ride that explains some of the history behind the items that are throughout this enormous collection. In all, I took well over 200 pictures while I was there and could honestly spend weeks exploring and still not see everything this museum has to offer. You'll find everything from classic to creepy cool!
A few things to note if you go. First, dress accordingly. This museum is in a huge warehouse and is given to the ways of the weather. It was chilly outside yesterday and while it was warmer inside than out, there was a chill in the air inside as well.
Second, only about 25% (or less) of this museum is self guided with the rest of it being the tour on the tram which you are not allowed to get out of. Understandably, there's a lot of space to cover and for security purposes, it has to be this way but it would be awesome to be able to walk this museum in its entirety. There's just so much to see that one will never catch everything no matter how slow the tram ride is.
In all, it was worth the cost for the tour and to walk the self guided areas. I will be returning to take more pictures in the future!
This is a pretty extensive menagerie. There are definitely treasures in the collection, but there are a lot of other pieces that aren't exactly treasures. I was wary about the idea of taking a tram through the museum, but the ride is very slow and allows you to take in most everything without too much detail. The narration is also quite good. There are two sections where you can walk through and look more specifically at items. It is also good that many of the music instruments still play. I would suggest planning on 1.5 hours. My one negative: I thought the price was a bit on the high side.
Amazingly incredible! I've never been to a place this fascinating in my life! Very entertaining! Highly recommend! There's SO much more than the pics I took.
My family and I are lVery happy to see this collection POP culture Americana. The music room very interesting and cool of discovery from the history.
The team ride was cool and highly recommend to visit this museum.
