点评:First time visit. Free parking behind the museum in a small, dedicated lot entered from the left lane of one-way Chestnut Street. Entrance to museum itself is on Elm Street opposite the golden Art Deco portal in the aude of the old New England Telephone & Telegraph building.
$5 admission for adults, $4 for seniors. Less for children. Happy to pay this to support a small museum devoted entirely to Worcester.
You enter into the gift shop. This is where you buy tickets and can get your questions answered by the friendly volunteers.
There is a main exhibit on the first floor that changes. We saw the installation devoted to candlepin bowling on this visit. Good exhibit featuring photos and many bowling related items and paraphernalia along with an interesting video on a large screen showing what takes place behind the scenes on a bowling alley once the balls knock down the pins.
The hall leads into a smaller area that speaks to children (Spanish and English) and is set up like a diner.
There is another exhibition area along with several smaller areas. The second floor has the auditorium (locked so we couldn't peek in), what looked like a meeting room, a smaller room devoted to the yellow smiley face invented in Worcester, and objects displayed in the area outside the auditorium.
We spent about an hour at the museum and enjoyed ourselves. It would be nice to attend an event or function.
You are also given passes to the Salisbury mansion (these don't expire).
翻译:第一次参观。博物馆后面有一个小型专用停车场,可免费停车,从单行道 Chestnut Street 的左车道进入。博物馆入口位于 Elm Street,金色装饰艺术风格大门对面,新英格兰电话电报大楼的前面。
成人入场费 5 美元,老年人入场费 4 美元。儿童入场费更低。很乐意支付这笔费用来支持一个完全致力于伍斯特的小型博物馆。
您进入礼品店。在这里您可以买票,友好的志愿者可以回答您的问题。
一楼有一个会变化的主要展览。我们在这次参观中看到了烛台保龄球的装置。展览很好,有照片和许多与保龄球相关的物品和用具,大屏幕上还有一段有趣的视频,展示了球击倒球瓶后保龄球馆的幕后情况。
大厅通向一个较小的区域,该区域向儿童(西班牙语和英语)讲话,布置得像一家小餐馆。
还有另一个展览区和几个较小的区域。二楼有礼堂(上锁了,我们无法偷看),看起来像会议室,一个较小的房间,专门用于展示伍斯特发明的黄色笑脸,礼堂外面的区域还陈列着一些物品。
我们在博物馆呆了大约一个小时,玩得很开心。参加活动或聚会会很不错。
你还会得到索尔兹伯里大厦的通行证(这些通行证不会过期)。
