Museums That Are A Must See.

[biffsgasgas]

I thought I would start a post of museums that are a must see. I love all things mechanical and work across the street from one of the best in America http://www.thehenryford.org/?gclid=COGiva6Fhr8CFQQOaQodGqUArQ If you are ever in the Detroit area its a must see. Give me a PM and we can possibly even meet up.

Between the two nationals this and next weekend I am hoping to go to http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com/ which i have never seen.

The AMA museum is ok and has a few trials motorcycles. http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/

If you ever end up in Germany you gotta see the Technic Museum in Speyer http://speyer.technik-museum.de/en

An awesome air museum is the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola Florida http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/

Of course the Smithsonian air and space museum is also very very cool http://www.sasmuseum.com/

I hear that the Barber museum is pretty cool as well and they always rotate stock. https://www.barbermuseum.org/

The air museum in Dayton is going to happen one of these weekends. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/

The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is neat if you are into that era of cars. http://www.automobilemuseum.org

The Gilmore car museum is also very very cool. http://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org/

And I also like to attend the Concours here in Detroit at the Medowbrook (Rich Widow of one of the Dodge Brothers) http://www.meadowbrookconcours.org/ The wood work in the mansion is worth seeing by itself.

What Museums would you recommend?

I quite fancied the air museum at Pensacola until I realise how far it was from Orlando, pity warbirds in Kissimmee has closed.

I Uk I recommend Sammy Miller, Beamish, Science Museum (near v & A), Imperial war museum and National motor museum (Beaulieu, not far from Sammy Miller), National railway museum at York.

You should have gone to Kermit Weeks place!

Floating museum, the battleship Alabama in Mobile Bay. Biff, you need to go to the engine room just to see if you can git a grip on that!

Oh, yes they have an aviation collection and a WWII submarine to tour as well. Sub is small, only 300 ft long! Ha!

Enjoyed having a look around Intrepid a few years ago, the diesel ballistic missile sub they have really makes you appreciate just how cramped the interiors of the old subs were. I can honestly say that I've been on concorde as they had 1 on the pier, think it's been replaced with 1 of the space shuttles

Thanks members,

Keep em coming. We did go and visit wheels through time on this trip and it was cool. They pride themselves on having dusty and runable machines which have a story. The stories were of grass roots people who really just got a motorcycle went out and did it. Its all american motorcycles but the focus is more on using the machine then the name of the machine itself.
