Have you visited the Mobile Carnival Museum yet? If not make it a must-see on your next visit to Mobile, AL. With us just a short drive to downtown it is the perfect place to stay!
It is that time of year again... The Mobile Carnival Museum has begun its seasonal gallery updates. This first round of transitions involves the updating of galleries to reflect the Carnival celebrations of the present calendar year. The families of the 2024 monarchs of the Mobile Carnival Association pulled out all of the stops this year and the organization's Coronation Gallery reflects the grandeur and good times of it all. This year's royal robes (those of Queen Elizabeth W. Helmsing and William Edward Slaton, Jr.) are truly remarkable. Featuring the artistry of Julia Greer Fobes and Homer McClure, these pieces are nothing of outstanding. Both designers are amazing. Nature, Mobile Bay, family, hunting camps, humor, etc...., the narratives behind these exquisite ensembles are as engaging to mind as the textiles and regalia are to the eyes! The photograph informing this post does not do them justice. Visit the Mobile Carnival Museum soon and see these and other Spring refreshes. Five other galleries will be completely updated before Memorial Day Weekend.
