| - Why did it take me so long to go here? I had only gone many years ago for the Vatican exhibit and didn't see the rest of the museum, which is awesome. Really well presented and interesting to townies, transplants, and tourists.
The rotating exhibit was about the prohibition era and included an awesome blend of political, social, and pop culture history. There were some goofy hands-on activities. A cool fashion collection.
The permanent collection, of course, includes local sports artifacts. I was happy to see local high school teams that have had major accomplishments, olympic contenders, marbles champions, and that that Steel City Roller Derby was featured. It's a well rounded and well thought out collection that wasn't as football focused as I was anticipating.
The museum shop is excellent, with an exceptional book collection.
They host special events there. I think it would be an amazing wedding venue!
