Get ready to hit the throttle because the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum is gearing up for an epic reboot, after keeping its doors closed for two solid years of revamping and adding some seriously cool features; the museum is now ready to flaunt its new state-of-the-art exhibits and secret chambers stuffed with racing lore that's sure to dazzle every visitor who's got even a speck of need for speed in their soul, as Travel and Tour World reports.
It isn't just a fresh coat of paint we're talking about here, no, this is a full-throttle transformation that stretches over 40,000 square feet of never-seen-before spaces and the unveiling is set for April 2, a date racing fans should circle in red on their calendars; imagine stepping into a vault of motor sports treasures where previously only a select few could sneak a peek, those days are done and dusted because the IMS Museum is pulling back the curtain once and for all, according to WRTV.
As eager attendees rev up their excitement for the grand reopening, they can look forward to something called the "Starting Line Experience", an all-encompassing sensory blast that recreates the race day atmosphere, "It’s in front of you, it’s above you, it’s all around you. It’s incredible, just incredible," according to a statement obtained by WISH-TV from the insiders at the museum.
Not only does the museum boast 14 distinctive galleries that will keep on changing every few months, but it also aims to fuel the passions of the next generation with interactive displays sharp on education, demonstrating that this isn't solely a venue for petrol-heads, with exhibits crafted to stoke curiosity about careers in motorsports even for young ones; "If the person isn’t a car person when they walk in, they will still enjoy it because it’s interactive, participatory, immersive, and entertaining, especially for kids," WISH-TV said.
