Join the curators at the History Museum of Mobile for a behind-the-scenes look at our collection! See inside the vault and learn how curators care for more than 117,000 objects.
The theme for this month’s tour is Juneteenth. Our curators will focus on the textiles, artwork, cultural items, documents, and other artifacts in our collection that help tell the rich story of African Americans and their contributions to Mobile history.
During this informative and fascinating tour, curators will discuss the particular environmental, handling, and housing factors needed to prevent damage and ensure the preservation of the objects they collect, safeguard, and interpret for present and future generations of citizens.
These special 1-hour tours are free for members, $20 for ages 18+, and $15 for ages 8-17. Two time options are available for each date: 10:30am and 5:30pm, with an additional 2:00pm tour added for this topic. Tickets must be purchased online in advance (see link below). NO WALK-UP TICKETS WILL BE SOLD.
