Description
The experience unfolds in two parts: a guided tour of the cramped, preserved home, where docents share emotionally moving stories about Armstrong's life, and a modern building across the street housing high-tech multimedia exhibits. Visitors consistently praise the intimate, limited-capacity tours, the helpful docents, and the immersive permanent exhibition, Here to Stay, along with the limited-time special exhibition, The Corona Collection. The museum leaves many feeling informed about Armstrong's significance and his place in the Black American experience, with some hoping the archives might one day be opened.
