The elevaTOURS International Elevator Museum is a collection of elevator parts and other elevator related items owned by dieselducy, who preserves and displays a collection of various elevator related items, from elevator button panels and other fixtures to other small items. Most of these elevator items were donated by elevator filmers and elevator companies. He welcomes donations of elevator related items.
In December 2014, he changed his collection's name from the elevaTOURS Elevator Museum to the elevaTOURS International Elevator Museum after a Schlieren and a Schindler R-Series call station was donated by Instagram user "illegal_popcorn" from Schindler Elevator Ltd. in Switzerland.
The museum is currently located in a storage locker in Roanoke, Virginia. It is open to visitors by appointment only.
As of April 2020, the museum is temporarily closed to visitors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
