"These fun museums pay homage to a single subject, honor a special interest and celebrate the strange. They may draw smaller crowds, but their founders and visitors definitely don't lack for enthusiasm."
Smithfield, NC, February 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Visitors of the Ava Gardner Museum have long known that the Museum is one of North Carolina’s most remarkable attractions and the one-of-kind venue is an outstanding tribute to one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies. This claim was validated recently when the Ava Gardner Museum made the “Top 10 Fun and Unusual Museums” list from Livability.com.
