The Frazier History Museum is a magnificent museum from top to bottom. My wife and I looked at 15 places here in Louisville, KY to host our wedding reception and none came close to the Frazier Museum. The beautiful views of the city outside which covered the downtown skyline as well as the bridge leading to Indiana. The interior was... More

I have been to a lot of museums but have to say I was very impressed. I only had a couple of hours so make sure you give yourself plenty of time. They also do live historical interpretation so try to catch one of those on the stage near the entrance. More

Excellent museum right in the middle of Louisville. The lifesized displays and many artifacts are more than I would have expected in Louisville. More

My husband and I visited the Frazier Museum to view a special Civil War exhibit. We had a great time! Plan for at least 3-4 hours, to view the American history exhibit, (a bison on roller skate wheels), any special exhibits, and the Royal Armories exhibit. Parking behind the museum is only $3 for the whole day, and it's right... More

We were very impressed with the quality and presentation of the items on display and could have spent much longer than the hour and a half that we had. There... More

Thought my weapons/guns loving 12-yr. old would love this place, but he really was sort of ho-hum about it. Maybe there was just too much to see - perhaps just too overwhelming. Lots of interesting historical info, just didn't click for us. More
