点评:I wasn't expecting much at this museum, but I was disappointed by what was there. It is a small place, so they don't have a lot of room. However, they could do much better. And it's expensive. To see the museum with the Billy Joel exhibit was $38 per person.
Good - the Billy Joel exhibit was decent. The place was very clean. What was in the museum is nicely displayed.
Bad - Billy Joel, Twisted Sister, and the Ramones were basically the main thing. There were lots of photos in the hallways but no explanation why they were there. Even the Billy Joel exhibit was dull. Also, entertainment is more than rock music. Why not mention the movies and tv shows made on Long Island, famous comics, and famous actors? Why concentrate only on the 1960s to 1990s for music?
Suggestions - when you have some a small place, it is essential to have a good docent or tour guide to make it interesting - provide the history of music and entertainment on Long Island, inside stories of the famous Long Islanders, how music and entertainment are currently evolving on Long Island. I have been to many small museums but having someone speak with the audience is essential for a good experience. Another suggestion, instead of showing a concert of Billy Joel in a dark room, have a video about famous Long Islanders in music and entertainment. Another suggestion would to have more interactive elements throughout the museum, not just in the exhibit room. Put screens on the walls that people can watch and/or play with. In the lobby, put something more interesting than a vehicle.
Would we go back? Not in its current state. Would I recommend the museum. Not unless you wanted to see a music act that's playing there.
The concept of a Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame is great. The execution is not.
翻译:我对这个博物馆没有抱太大的期望,但里面的东西让我很失望。这个地方很小,所以没有太多空间。但是,他们可以做得更好。而且价格昂贵。参观比利乔尔展览的博物馆每人 38 美元。
优点 - 比利乔尔展览很不错。这个地方很干净。博物馆里的东西陈列得很好。
缺点 - 比利乔尔、Twisted Sister 和 Ramones 基本上是主要内容。走廊里有很多照片,但没有解释他们为什么在那里。甚至比利乔尔的展览也很乏味。此外,娱乐不仅仅是摇滚音乐。为什么不提一下长岛制作的电影和电视节目、著名漫画和著名演员?为什么只关注 1960 年代到 1990 年代的音乐?
建议 - 如果你有一个小地方,那么聘请一位优秀的讲解员或导游来让博物馆变得有趣是必不可少的 - 介绍长岛音乐和娱乐的历史、著名长岛人的内幕故事、长岛音乐和娱乐目前的发展情况。我去过许多小型博物馆,但要获得良好的体验,有人与观众交谈是必不可少的。另一个建议是,不要在黑暗的房间里播放 Billy Joel 的音乐会,而是播放一段关于音乐和娱乐界著名长岛人的视频。另一个建议是在整个博物馆中增加更多互动元素,而不仅仅是在展览室。在墙上安装屏幕,人们可以观看和/或玩耍。在大厅里,放一些比车辆更有趣的东西。
我们会回去吗?不会在它现在的状态。我会推荐这个博物馆吗?除非你想看那里正在演奏的音乐表演。
长岛音乐和娱乐名人堂的概念很棒。但执行却不是。
