El Ignite Sign Art Museum en Tucson, Arizona, ofrece a los visitantes una mirada cautivadora a la historia y el arte de los letreros de neón. Este pequeño museo especializado alberga una colección diversa de letreros antiguos y contemporáneos, que muestra la evolución de las técnicas de fabricación de letreros a lo largo de las décadas. Muchos visitantes aprecian la dedicación del museo a preservar este aspecto a menudo pasado por alto de la cultura visual estadounidense.
Las exhibiciones del museo están bien organizadas y presentan una combinación de letreros de neón restaurados, letreros eléctricos antiguos e informativas pantallas sobre los procesos de fabricación de letreros. Los visitantes a menudo comentan sobre la atmósfera nostálgica creada por las brillantes exhibiciones de neón, que brindan excelentes oportunidades para tomar fotografías. El museo también ofrece experiencias prácticas, permitiendo a los visitantes crear sus propios letreros, lo que agrega un elemento interactivo a la visita.
Si bien a muchos les parece encantador e informativo, algunos visitantes notan que es relativamente pequeño y se puede explorar a fondo en aproximadamente una hora. Este tamaño compacto podría dejar a algunos huéspedes con ganas de más, especialmente dado el precio de la entrada. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los visitantes sienten que el tema único y las exhibiciones bien presentadas justifican el costo.
El personal recibe elogios por su amabilidad y conocimiento, a menudo mejorando la experiencia con anécdotas interesantes sobre los letreros y su historia. La tienda de regalos, aunque pequeña, ofrece una selección de recuerdos relacionados con los letreros que a muchos les resultan atractivos.
En general, el Ignite Sign Art Museum ofrece una experiencia distintiva y agradable para aquellos interesados en el diseño, el arte estadounidense ("Americana") o el arte del neón. Si bien puede no atraer a todos, ofrece una exploración enfocada y bien ejecutada de su tema de nicho.
We arrived the afternoon of Friday, May 2nd, 2025. Other than a quick Google search (and perhaps Trip Advisor--hard to remember when piecing together so many vacation stops), we didn't know what to expect, other than them having neon signs. We are Originally from Detroit, and have lived in Phoenix for the past 7 years, so we aren't familiar with the local history of Tucson. My wife and I brought our 4.5 year-old grandson. We were all surprised and impressed with the variety of exhibits within the walls, and the tributes to different periods in time. Our grandson, for instance, had never seen a typewriter or a rotary phone until walking through. There were signs of all sizes, and of local businesses and national (including a large Arby's "cowboy hat" sign outside behind the building). Inside, there was much that was interactive for people of all ages. There were also 2 rides where you put a quarter in to ride for a minute or so (the kind you used to find outside of grocery stores and the like). Of course our grandson was interested in riding in one, but someone had jammed a few dimes inside. We mentioned it to the employees, and a gentleman came over and spent at least 10 minutes to take apart the assembly and make it working. During that time, we learned that he and his wife owned the museum and was telling us about what they've done to build it and maintain the museum. It really is a labor of love. We later met his wife, and the two are wonderful people. If you find yourself in the Tucson area, try to find the time to support this impressive museum, it's a hidden gem minutes east of the Downtown Tucson area, and minutes south of the University.
