I understand but there is bound to be a lot of bits and pieces other than cars. Maybe I'm wishful thinking but I'll find out tomorrow.

I've been to a similar museum and it was interesting! My late husband was into automotive and aviation history. Enjoy your outing!

Even if the exhibits don't excite you particularly, some of the stories behind the vehicles are quite fascinating.

We are home now and Vince took a lot of photos for me. I hadn't charged my battery before I went and it was flat! I could hardly believe it.

Love this classic car. Reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde. I have visited a few motor museums and found them interesting.

Often it's the stories behind the vehicles that are just as fascinating as the cars themselves.

Fair enough. But it was all 'motors' as in 'motor cars' and there were dozens of them. Also motorcycles, pedal cars, models, etc.

I enjoy visiting museums with hubs. We have some wonderful ones in Florida and in our hometown up north. We always make it a point to visit museums when traveling, too, especially overseas. I agree about people with a narrow focus. I call them dullards.

@JudyEv It's the same here, and they are always adding a special exhibit to the standard ones that never change. The last time I went they had an Egyptian exhibit with the sarcophagus and mummified remains. It was fascinating. I think they have a special exhibit going on now, but I don't remember what it is.

me too, not a big fan of cars, but I did visit the Petersen motor museum in Los Angles. Totally fascinating. I did like seeing the 1960s Batmobile and the car Laurel and Hardy squeezed one, a model T, I think

@Ronrybs We visited a museum in the Lakes district and much of that was devoted to Malcolm Campbell's exploits. I'm pretty sure they also had a factory there that made shoe polish or maybe it was Reckitt's Blue. I think it was the latter. I know I was impressed at the time.

What a pity we forget so much. Hopefully I wrote about it and have kept a copy. It might have been on Bubblews.

Looking at those old vintage cars is interesting and educational too. When I visited the Dupont estate art Nemours in Delaware, NJ they had an exhibit of the cars they drove. Here's a 1930 convertible which they drove.

Museums in general? Not as much. Some I do enjoy, but it really depends. But a car museum? Oh yeah. You betcha. That's right up my alley, pardon the pun. Now, if it were just motors and not cars, that would be boring, so I am thinking by motors you mean cars.
