Overview of the gallery with the fire hall and carriage works in the
background. |
The
main exhibit gallery at the Remington Carriage Museum is arranged
in a series of vignettes. Each tells a story of late 19th and early
20th century North American society and the horse-drawn vehicles that
were used.
In each area,
the vehicles displayed are accompanied by panels providing information
and hundreds of archival photographs from across North America.
Using theatrical
sets, sound, lighting and hands-on activities, the displays convey
a sense of the past. Many informative audio-visual presentations
are found throughout the gallery. Some feature archival newsreels
of real-life scenes such as road building, fire fighting and the
hustle and bustle of the city.
