The Ava Gardner museum is located in Smithfield NC. This is another local museum
that has been ignored by me for years. It far exceeded my expectations. It honors the
life, the loves and the legacy of a small town farmers daughter who became a leading
lady in Hollywood and an international star. The museum contains memorabilia from her life,
clothes jewelry and movie costumes. The museum contains portraits of Ava
completed by Bert Pfeiffer who did a portrait of her yearly for many years.She spent the
last years of her life in Spain and England. Ava died January 25 1990 from pneumonia.
She was buried in Smithfield NC beside her parents. The photos I am sharing show
some of the excellent exhibits they have, the portraits done by her admirer and her
gravesite. I hope you enjoy the little bit of information I have shared.
Thanks for reading and please share Linda
