点评:We had read the museum reviews on Tripadvisor, but we were still blown away by the sheer amount of automatic instruments - nickelodeons, band organs, music boxes and more. Unfortunately we got there a little late, and we found out that 1 hour is not nearly enough to see this kind of collection. Regular tours are 1 1/2 hours, but the very nice docent (Cami?) made an exception and did an abbreviated tour for us. We still got to see the most unusual instruments and she also turned them on for us. What a treat!
The gift store is worthwhile looking at, too, and I especially liked the fact that CDs with music played by those antique instruments were for sale. All in all this museum really exceeded our expectations!
Franklin seemed to be an interesting little town, but unfortunately we did not have time to explore the stores and restaurants and to see the Tiffany windows at St. John's Episcopal Church. I hope we can return some day!
翻译:我们已经阅读了 Tripadvisor 上的博物馆评论,但我们仍然被数量庞大的自动乐器所震撼——五分钱影院、管风琴、音乐盒等等。可惜我们到的有点晚,才发现1个小时根本不够看这样的藏品。常规游览是 1 1/2 小时,但非常好的讲解员(Cami?)破例为我们做了一个简短的游览。我们仍然看到了最不寻常的乐器,她还为我们打开了它们。真是太好了!
礼品店也值得一看,我特别喜欢出售用那些古董乐器演奏的音乐的CD。总而言之,这个博物馆真的超出了我们的预期!
富兰克林似乎是一个有趣的小镇,但不幸的是我们没有时间去探索商店和餐馆,也没有时间去看圣约翰圣公会教堂的蒂芙尼橱窗。我希望有一天我们能回来!
