alex young hero Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Visited the museum today with my 16 year old grandson who said on leaving "If that dosn`t make you proud to be a Hearts supporter nothing will " I think he was spot on ,fantastic job well done to all who were involved in this venture.

Hearts Heritage Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Genuine question I've been asked by a non poster.... What's the story behind the Rudi Skacel boot ? It is a signed boot by Rudi from c2012. A visitor who knows Rudi was hopeful we could get one from the Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the museum,and will be back. One thing that I did notice was a lack of signage making it clear the museum was open and where to go. If the museum is only aimed at Hearts fanatics than this will not be a problem as they will probably already know the hours and where to go. But some simple retro pavement A-Frame signage could possibly help raise awareness and increase visitor numbers. Or hijack a couple of of those golf sale guys to stand on Gorgie Road holding massive signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The Museum and Memorial Garden are now on Trip Advisor. So please give us a review. Open today from 10-4. Still a few numbered certificates to be handed out to the first 1874 unique visitors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadows Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It is a signed boot by Rudi from c2012. A visitor who knows Rudi was hopeful we could get one from the Final. It is possibly the only strange item on display in the museum , as neither owned or worn but merely signed by Rudi ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It is possibly the only strange item on display in the museum , as neither owned or worn but merely signed by Rudi ?

Gambo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I was in around 11 today with my 6 year old son. We were visitors 1654 and 1655. Great wee museum. Didn't quite have the time to look around as much as I would have liked due to the wee man not really understanding the concept of going round in a certain way, and him banging his napper off most of the glass display cabinets! Staff were superb. 150 since I was in yesterday lunchtime Edited October 21, 2016 by Gambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Is Back Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Had a very enjoyable visit last week and will go again when less pressed for time. Guys who were there were very approachable and knowledgeable. Only thing I'd say is that thought you'd be able to get access from MacLeod Street. Had been in getting tickets but the steps in the Roseburn were blocked off and it was a walk back round. Same with the certificates. Not a huge deal but in this day and age you've got to make it easy for folks. Interesting too that of you look at places like Disney, they lead you from an attraction into a retail outlet, generally any way. The location just now means guest do the tour and then have to go somewhere else to buy merchandise or even enquiry about tickets. Should all three not have been located together? Realise we couldn't do that pre new stand of course but I don't think it's planned for the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realise we couldn't do that pre new stand of course but I don't think it's planned for the future? All pertinent points mate. All of this crossed my mind. I note that the new club shop, located in the new main stand will be positioned at the Gorgie Rd end of the stand (if you get what I mean). I wonder if there'll be a cut through from the museum underneath or at the side of the Gorgie stand? You can't really expect tourists to be walking from the current location, along Gorgie Rd to get to the retail outlet. I'm hoping this has been considered as I really like the current location of the museum and feel it'd be crazy to uproot all the work that's been done to reposition it, after only a year or so.
