We really enjoyed it. There are multiple exhibits. Very interesting!! Its our history. The museum is nice. It doesn't disappoint. You can see horse carriages, civil rights history and how far we've come, paintings, the history of Mardi Gras, the history of Mobile, and there was a NASA exhibit which had some interactive pieces.
Lovely setting with excellent history of Mobile. Hubble exhibition was beautiful.
Very nice museum showing Mobile's history and place in the world. Easy to navigate in just a few hours. There is space upstairs where they have temporary exhibits. We saw a showcase on the Hubble telescope when we were there in December 2023.
Love this place. The exhibits are amazing, the staff is very kind and the community outreach is great. They held an Halloween event for the kiddos which resembled "Night at the Museum". It was very informative and the kids and staff all seem to have a good time.
This was a fun activity to take the family. There's a rich history about Mobile that I never knew and I've lived in Alabama for 20+ years. Pro Tip: The museum tour is FREE on the first Sunday of every month.
Wonderful museum! We loved the 22 item exhibition as well as the children's interactive area! Very well done!
This museum was surprisingly impressive. I did not know what to expect, but I got the full experience of Mobile in this one place. I learned so much, and had a wonderful time doing it. It was set up well, and had a good flow with many different aspects of the city throughout, and even before its founding. Definitely worth a visit if you're into that kind of thing.
