点评:The LeMay is a worthwhile stop for car enthusiasts, though it doesn't quite reach the top tier of automotive collections I've visited. The building itself is striking, and many vehicles are attractively displayed. However, the bulk of the exhibits reflect the founder’s personal preferences, leading to multiple examples of models that arguably warrant only one—and glaring absences of historically significant cars that evidently didn’t capture his interest.
Signage is excellent when present, but much of it relies on electronic screens, several of which were frustratingly out of order during my visit. Traffic flow through the museum is initially disorienting, and I found myself retracing aisles before getting my bearings. The ramps at either end of the building house compelling supplementary content, yet their layout is counterintuitive—visitors move right to left, while the wall text reads left to right. To follow the narrative coherently, you must walk to the far end and double back before continuing onward.
Vehicle arrangement feels inconsistent, too. A cohesive 1950s domestic trio—Ford, Chevy, Chrysler—can abruptly give way to a lone Model T, without apparent rhyme or reason.
Despite these quirks, there's enough substance here to merit a visit for car aficionados. It’s a solid second-tier museum—arguably one of the best in that bracket—but not quite in the league of the most thoughtfully curated collections.
翻译:对于汽车爱好者来说,勒梅博物馆值得一游,尽管它并没有达到我参观过的顶级汽车收藏水平。建筑本身就很引人注目,许多车辆的陈列也引人入胜。然而,大部分展品都反映了创始人的个人喜好,导致许多车型实际上只值得收藏一辆——而且,一些具有历史意义的汽车显然没有引起他的兴趣,却明显缺席。
标牌虽然很完善,但大部分都依赖于电子屏幕,在我参观期间,其中一些屏幕出现了令人沮丧的故障。博物馆的交通最初让人感到迷茫,我发现自己不得不沿着原路返回,才找到方向。建筑两端的坡道上都存放着引人入胜的补充内容,但其布局却违反直觉——参观者从右向左移动,而墙上的文字却从左向右阅读。为了连贯地跟随叙事,你必须走到尽头,然后再折返才能继续前进。
车辆的排列也感觉不一致。 20世纪50年代美国本土三大品牌——福特、雪佛兰、克莱斯勒——可能会突然让位于一辆孤零零的T型车,这似乎毫无道理。
尽管存在这些怪异之处,但这里仍然有足够的藏品值得汽车爱好者参观。这是一个不错的二线博物馆——可以说是同类中最好的之一——但与策展最周到的藏品相比,还算不上。
