Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Hours can be spent here but 2 minimum. 7 floor concrete castle built by eccentric collector of all things ordinary in 1900. The building alone is amazing, the floors, arches, windows, staircases and nooks. The tens of thousands of artifacts from a century ago displayed from ceilings, walls and small rooms could be a nightmare if not so meticulously organized despite the numbers. Look up and a whaling boat is hanging over your head and 5 floors up cribs on the ceiling. The stairs take you up and two more floors beyond. Complete carriages, apple presses as well as needles, brooms, tortoise shell combs, threshers, every one different from the next. Downstairs is Mercer's musical instrument collection.

Words cannot describe this unique, eclectic, detailed, varied, entertaining, informative world-class collection of “life”…from a man who devoted his life to this legacy! Such fun to amble through this castle , self-guided! However, there were very knowledgeable docents around who answered many questions! We were fortunate to also see a special exhibition of Mercer’s amazing collection of musical instruments from around the world. His in-depth , historical findings, and the audio stations were superb ways to learn! Pair this visit with a very different type of visit at Font Hill Castle…you won’t be sorry…so worthwhile!

We visited the museum as a field trip (kids ages 6-16). Everyone enjoyed it. There was something interesting to see for everyone. This is a must-see for anyone studying colonial America. Based on what I learned at Fonthill Castle, I think Mr Mercer would be proud to see his collection today.
I was also impressed with the historical music exhibit downstairs. There were instruments I’d never seen before and we enjoyed the listening stations.

Henry Chapman Mercer's museum is exceptionally well planned and organized thanks to its founder and the nonprofit that runs it today. He wanted the world to learn about pre-Industrial tools and is wish is honored. I could not tear myself away from this incredible museum and had to read every sign and see every artifact. The rotating exhibit of musical instruments was our first stop and I think we spent 45 minutes there. Then came the marvelous museum. The interactive introduction with Mercer (an actor on video) is incredibly effective. While Mercer categorized his artifacts by purpose, the museum does an excellent job with the educational piece. Signs explain some processes we could no longer know. The guides were so helpful. I am so sorry I can't recall the name of the red-headed woman who was on staff and really spent the most time with us. Special thanks to you!

I have a hard time deciding what was more interesting, the museum building or the collection. Henry Mercer, neither an architect nor engineer, designed and built Fonthill Castle, his home, the Mercer Museum to house his diverse collection, and the Moravian Tile Works, his occupation. The museum building is made from concrete and was built by eight of Henry’s employees. Henry continually added to his design as he figured out how he wanted to display the collection he amassed from traveling around looking for what others considered junk. There is an interactive video display at the start where you can “ask”Henry questions about his museum. Allow at least two hours to go through the five floors of the museum.

It is curated in a great way to reflect the character and placement in history. It's tucked into niches, wide open spaces and specialty alcoves. It will stick in my mind for a long time. Thank you to Hannah for the introduction to the music exhibit, well done! If you only have time for this or Fonthill, I vote "here".

Looking for an indoor activity on a very hot day.
Reservations required.
Surprised at volume and breadth of the collection. Very interesting. Also went through the special music exhibit.
We did not realize it was associated with the Smithsonian.
Plenty of parking.
Plus for the location is restaurants nearby.

Imagine building your own museum to house the "stuff" you've collected. The variety of things was unbelievable. Throughout the multiple levels, everything was displayed in an orderly, organized manner. Must see with Fonthill Castle and the Moravian Tile Factory.

Is there A/C?
Hi Andrea,
Thank you for you question. The historic castle portion of the Mercer Museum is not climate controlled and may experience fluctuations in both temperature and humidity depending on external weather conditions.
However, the main lobby and changing exhibit gallery at the Mercer Museum are climate controlled.
Hope to see you at the museum soon!

Is it an easy museum for an older person with mobility issues who will not use a wheelchair.
Hi Janice,
Thank you for your question. The original portion of the Mercer Museum is partially handicapped accessible (approximately 65%) by elevator. The new wing, which includes the changing Exhibition Gallery and Learning Center, is fully accessible including restrooms. Additional educational program areas are or can be fully accessible.
We hope to see you at the Mercer Museum soon!

You can see the other people's answers, but don't let the cost deter you...This is one of the most unique museums I have ever visited and is well worth the time and money...Just make sure you give yourself time to visit the other parts of the "Mercer Trifecta".
