The Museum of Mobile is located in downtown Mobile Alabama. While it may not be the biggest museum it still has a lot to offer. You can travel back in time and go through the history of Mobile and see what happened to shape Mobile into the city that it is today. You can see a canon that came from a real battleship and many artifacts that come from Mobile's past. This is actually a great museum if you want to learn more about the past of the this city but there are a few things to remember.
While the museum is something that can be fun for all ages and has things that could entertain people of all ages there are some things that you should be aware of. There are some things such as photographs and exhibits that have warnings because they aren't suitable for everyone. Mobile's past includes things such as the building of the Bankhead tunnel where you can hear the sounds of the tunnel being built as you walk through a replica of the process. There are also tales of slavery, and the yellow fever outbreak. Make sure that you pay attention to what you child looks at as there are photos that are covered and have warnings before you lift it to see it. There aren't that many places that will have something like this but you don't want your child seeing that. There are many different things and most of which everyone can enjoy, it's a good idea for you to make sure that you stop by and visit this museum if you are in Mobile, you can also buy a special pass that will allow you to visit this museum as well as the Firehouse Museum and the Mardi Gras Museum, both of which are worth seeing.
