Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.
The Ava Gardner Museum honors the life, loves, and legacy of one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies. The 5,000 sq. ft. exhibit space houses extraordinary costumes, movie posters and awards that represent Ava’s 50-year career as a leading Hollywood actress.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
