Review & FAQ:

Housed in the Southern Market/Old City Hall National Historic Landmark, the History Museum of Mobile explores the history and heritage of Mobile as well as the life and times of this Gulf Coast City.

Built between 1855 and 1857, and designed in the Italianate style of architecture, the museum chronicles and showcases 300 years of Mobile history. Detailed permanent, temporary and special exhibits are rotated periodically, and a number of education programs and workshops invite students and visitors to become more involved.

Permanent exhibits include “The Old Ways, New Days”, an attractive presentation that explores the colonization of the city to the present; and “The Walls and Halls”, an immaculately placed exhibit that features antique silver, ancient artifacts, artworks and furniture.
