Ok, so the transportation part of this was a bit dry, But, But, the building itself is super cool!!! It was designed by a understudy of Frank Loyd Wright, Don Buel Schuyler, in 1943. The inside is as cool as the outside. You can tell where all the shower stalls were, the tiles are in pristine condition, everything then was built to last. You can go out in the back and see where the Olympic size pool lies (it's been filled in, but some corner tiles are still visible). The stone stadium seating still stands, as does a fantastic art deco style fountain and wading pool. Enjoyed talking to a kid who works here who explained some of the buildings history and pointed me to other buildings in Tuscaloosa the architect designed. He was really helpful. The museum is free, btw.
I love walking around, outside of the museum, actually. I really love wondering around the area in the back. I Love the whole Roman Collissium- Style architecture, like that little stadium that wraps around about half of the building. It's a really beautiful place that I like to relax, and meditate at.! ud83dude0a
Nice little place. A good way to kill an hour in the air conditioning (for free!). They have a rotating exhibit in the center of the museum (currently about bugs). Not sure how that relates to transportation, but it's good to have some variety. A few interactive things for kids, but otherwise lots of readings and self-guided experiences.
The museum is small and you can easily see everything in an hour, but the exhibits are well put together and interesting. Since it is free it was well worth exploring. My toddler enjoyed walking around and was interested in a few items.
Small, but informative. The guided tour was nice.
