On September 5th, the Ava Gardner Museum re-opened to the public after five months of being closed. In preparation of re-opening, the Ava Gardner Museum has completed the Count On Me NC certificate program. You can learn more about Count On Me NC here; it is a public health initiative that empowers guests and businesses to help keep everyone safe from COVID-19.
We have placed hand sanitizing stations in the museum and created social distancing seating in our theater. We do regret that our interactive kiosk in the Ava: My Real Story exhibit will remain closed at this time. Our staff will be wearing masks and cleaning the museum surfaces between visitors, and we ask that our visitors also wear masks as a precaution.
We are excited to see visitors back in the museum enjoying our exhibits!
