Join the curators at the History Museum of Mobile on Thursday, November 12, 2026 for a behind-the-scenes look at our collection! See inside the vault and learn how curators care for more than 117,000 objects.

The theme for the tour is BASEBALL. Visitors will see artifacts from Mobile's long history with "America's Pastime." There will be baseballs, bats, uniforms, artwork, and more from throughout the decades.

During this informative and fascinating tour, curators will discuss the particular environmental, handling, and housing factors needed to prevent damage and ensure the preservation of the objects they collect, safeguard, and interpret for present and future generations of citizens.

***PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, visitors will not be allowed into the Collections vault during this month's tours. However, the same items will still be on view as planned, and the tours will take visitors into the artwork hallway and work room in our Collections department.

These special 1-hour tours are free for members, $20 for ages 18+, and $15 for ages 8-17. Two time options are available: 10:30am and 5:30pm. Tickets must be purchased online in advance.
