GREENSBORO HISTORICAL MUSEUM
narrative:
After reading an article in the local paper about the Greensboro historical museum I decided to make a trip there and check it out. It must have been a busy day, and maybe due to the article, because there was no parking. I had to park at a meter in front of the library. I made my way around the corner back to the museum. Looking at the outside, the front entrance space seemed to be a place for groups to gather. I walked in through the small vestibule and came upon the lobby space. In front of me sat a desk on an area rug which I took to be the “front desk”. I signed in and continued to look around. To the left was a display space that visitors could walk through. Further back was some sort of corner booth. There were two entrances to the auditorium and between them was a display case of some sort. I looked toward the large spiral staircase and decided to make my way up. The second floor was small and cramped, especially with the number of people there that day. I continued up the stairs to the third floor. This floor had all kinds of displays. From galleries to informative posters to talking books this was definitely the learning floor. After making my way around I went back downstairs and made a side trip to the restroom. I signed out at the front desk and went back to my car at the meter feeling very glad I read the paper this morning.
