Logo for the Ava Gardner Museum in Smithfield, NC.

Visiting the Museum

With rotating exhibits, interactive presentations, special events, and expert docents, we offer visitors a multitude of ways to learn about the remarkable life and career of Ava Gardner all year long.

Our wish is that you will visit us often in Smithfield.

Hours of Operation:

The Ava Gardner Museum is temporarily closed due to a water break that caused flooding in the museum. While no artifacts were damaged, the museum will require repairs to the flooring and walls of the exhibit space, theatre, gift shop, and front office. We do not yet know when the museum will reopen, but the cleanup is already underway and the repairs are starting soon.
