The F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, offers visitors a glimpse into the lives of the famous literary couple. Located in the last surviving home where the Fitzgeralds lived as a family, this small museum provides an intimate look at their personal history and creative works.
The museum houses a collection of photographs, letters, and first edition books that showcase the Fitzgeralds' lives and literary contributions. Visitors often appreciate the preservation of the 1920s-era house and its period furnishings, which help to set the scene of the Jazz Age that the Fitzgeralds epitomized.
While the museum is compact, many find the guided tours informative and engaging, with knowledgeable staff who are passionate about sharing the Fitzgeralds' story. The gift shop offers a good selection of books and memorabilia related to the couple and their era.
However, some visitors note that the museum's small size means it can be explored relatively quickly, which may disappoint those expecting a more extensive collection. Additionally, the limited parking and the house's location in a residential area can sometimes pose challenges for visitors.
Overall, the F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald Museum provides an interesting and personal look at the famous couple, particularly appealing to literature enthusiasts and those interested in 1920s American culture. While it may not offer a comprehensive museum experience, it does offer a unique perspective on two of America's most intriguing literary figures.
Step back in time and sojourn to an amazing tribute to F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Not only does the downstairs museum contain a myriad of their artifacts and literary works, you can stay upstairs in one of the apartments that Scott and Zelda lived in in 1931 and 1932! If classic literature and/or the Roaring Twenties are near and dear to your heart, make time to visit this special, historic place.
