Wilsonville Oregon - World of Speed Museum

 We made a family trip to the World of Speed Museum for one specific exhibit. I will write about that next time, but I wanted to give some attention to the overall museum first.

 With a wide variety of racing items in the permanent collection, there is a lot to help convey the excitement of racing.

 It does not end up being only about racing. Seeing the sponsorships on early cars reminds you of old logos and ads that you may not have seen for a while.

 There are also movie posters for car-themed movies.

 Because you listen to music in your car, and there are songs about cars, there is a lot of music.

There is even a little bit about car versus horse, though it was an old car and a really fast horse.

But there are some other things that stood out that seem especially worth mentioning. There was a children's area and there are family programs.

There is an appropriate Northwest focus with a lot of Sasquatch.

Also, with all of that fun memorabilia, the prices were not bad. That includes both the gift shop and the price of admission.

And they did a good job of setting context with the exhibit, but more on that next time.
