I don't know if they still do it, but about fifteen years ago, my cousin's cub scout group got to spend the night in the lobby of the museum around the pendulum and I was invited to join. It was really neat, but I remember I tossed and turned practically the whole night lol.
Thanks for filming these! I rode them many times growing up. The glass Otis elevators were installed around the year 2000. Prior to that, there weren't exhibits on the 2nd floor and there was just empty space where the two glass elevators are now. As a little Jeffy that Virginia service elevator was really big and intimidating, it doesn't seem quite so big now.

Glad it brought back memories :)
This is the best use of an old building.
It's nice to see old buildings like this put to use in new ways
I love it
Yea i actually really enjoy DewHurst buttons im not gonna lie yea they are generic but I grew up with them on the metro
That was nice of them to show you the service elevator
It was.
Very nice of them!
That last Elevator has an epic motor!
That's awesome!
the museum is beautiful and the elevators are nice
4:17 not almost every elevator in Europe has Dewhurst... actually you don't find that much Dewhurst in France or Switzerland for example.
Interesting cop on the third elevator!
In the back on the 1st floor they have a newer Schindler elevator in the middle between the glass elevators
There is a new schindler there. I will post it soon.
This place is awesome
epco fixtures look great there.
16th, wow thats a nice eleva..
When you said the capacity of the service elevator did you say 8000 or 80’000
8000
Dupar is the brand that makes dewhurst
The B braille was replaced with a 0 braille
It looks that way
beno hates dewhurst buttons
Yep he does lol
Everyone does apart from the old ones
Hbn.z
Wow I’m early
Dewhurst can be a terrible if it modernizes an vintage elevator
