Not a large museum but enough (with movie) to go through Ava Gardner's life, how she became a Hollywood legend, the men in her life, her movies, and her later years. Self-guided. Very interesting and informative. Well worth the stop. Not too far from the museum is her and her family's grave site (short couple miles drive up the road). Everything is easily accessible.
We had no idea how educational it would be going there. We were amazed at how the museum walked us down her entire life. It was very easy to follow that walk through her life's ups and downs. She was an extraordinary lady with class. A must go see for yourself.
This place is awesome! I went in with low expectations because of what I had previously heard, but I was pleasantly surprised. The whole tour might take you 2 hours, and it is a small museum, but there is a lot there. The video presentation was educational and a good way to start. I can't recommend enough!
We had a friend in town and took him by to see this. Its a very nice little museum, nice movie about Ava.nnWarning. Be careful about parking on the street if you have a full size truck, a lot of mirrors get taken off. I was in the museum for about 45 mins and when I went out side I found my truck was damaged.
It was pretty neat, bigger than you'd think, but not big. Ticket prices are high, especially seeing as it's a small building with rather repetitive facts, but it's still more than you'd expect to come out of this. Worth a check out for people into film and anything associated.
