My girls’ school was closed on Friday because of festival. That was our big chance to stop at Rosa Parks Museum on Friday because it is closed every Saturday & Sunday. We got up at 5 am and left home at 6 am. We are from Louisiana that we traveled to Montgomery to visit it at 3 pm before it would be closed by 5 pm. We did made it. Whew! Yes it is interesting to learn about history of brave Rosa Parks. Wow!

Good afternoon! I'm not sure why we were listed as closed on Saturdays because we are, in fact, open 9AM - 3PM. We are glad you came to visit, though!

This museum perfectly conveyed the importance of the bus boycott- loved the bus re-enactment. Perfect for families

It was a good visit. It's a museum that is affiliated with Troy University. It's located at their downtown campus, and was built on the site where Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the Cleveland Avenue bus. The museum is a great memorial to the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" as it continues to educate its visitors about the Montgomery Bus Boycott with historical artifacts and visual displays that make you feel as if you're actually witnessing history.

As you enter the main building, you'll see the sculpture of Rosa Parks on the bus bench by Erik Blome. This is also where you pay for admission to both parts of the museum. You can visit just one, but it's recommended to see both. They all start at certain time intervals, so be aware of that. You start your self-guided tour at the Children's Wing where you enter the Cleveland Avenue Time Machine. It looks like the bus that Rosa Parks was riding on the day she was arrested, only it has a robot operator. It's basically a fun trip back in time that uses special effects and movie screens to show you the events starting with the onset of enforced racial segregation in the 1800s. You'll also learn about Dred Scott, Homer Plessy, Harriett Tubman, and Henry "Box" Brown. It starts when you enter the bus at the appropriate time. We were the only ones there on a weekday. There wasn't a whole lot of guidance in this building. I didn't even know there was a second floor, so I missed that part.

We then went back to the main building for another timed exhibit. You enter a room and watch documentary footage of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Rosa Parks' arrest, as well as hear from some of the people behind the boycott using multi screens. The doors open up after the presentation, and you walk into a separate room that has a 1950's era bus similar to the Cleveland Avenue bus. The actual bus is at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn (near Detroit). What's cool is that you are witnessing the entire event (or reenactment of the bus ride) through special effects. This was the highlight of the visit.

Another door opens up so that you can enter the main exhibit area. This is where you'll see historical artifacts such as the arrest records, court documents, and police reports. You'll also see exhibits of the backlash that African Americans faced during and after the boycott as white business owners retaliated. It's brutal. You'll definitely walk away with a better understanding of life in Montgomery during that time period, and the courage that brought about the positive changes that we continue to see each and every day.

But, it doesn't stop there. You'll also see artwork exhibited in the museum. The most recent one is from Alana Enfinity. It's a beautiful exhibit that is very expressive and colorful.

It's a must see when visiting Montgomery. It's a unique experience that shouldn't be missed. I just wish there were more people there on a weekday. I think I saw one other couple the entire time I was there. I'll leave you with one other very important piece of information. There are limited free parking lots nearby. There's a parking lot on Molton Street near the School of Nursing. Don't feed the meters.

There are two exhibitions here. One is a museum that starts with a couple of presentations; the rest is self-guided. I spent most of an hour there and learned a lot.

The other part is a box with wooden seats that resembles a bus. It's surrounded by hokey things with names like tachyon generator. As the videos play, the bus shakes and lights flash; it's supposed to be a time machine. The voices of people in the videos were muffled, so why won't heard about half of what was said. The video took maybe 20 minutes to play; I wish they had given visitors an alternate of seeing just the videos in 5 or 10 minutes, with clear sound, instead of "riding" the bus. (I think the bus is aimed at keeping kids engaged.)

We are so glad we added this to our stops. Museum is really nicely done and the history is critical for all to know and learn from. It is definitely worth the stop.

Billed as a museum dedicated to Rosa Parks, it is, in fact, a museum dedicated to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In this, it is appreciated that the museum takes in the larger context. Having said that, the museum does have a bit of an odd start. You aren’t allowed into the video room until the first video starts. And once it finishes you are immediately required to move to the next room as the “reenactment” (a bit strange to watch) starts as the first video finishes. Yet, the first viewing room has walls of information that you never get to read by following the process. The museum is not bad overall after that bumpy start, but it wasn’t our best museum experience in Montgomery.

Tells the story of Mrs Parks refusal to give up her seat using a life sized replica of the original bus. Lots of visuals. So important to the US civil rights fight.

This is a fine little museum dedicated to the history of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Rosa Parks’ courageous role in changing history. The exhibits are not overly interactive, but the site and story are essential to the legacy of civil rights in this country.

This museum shows you what happened to Rosa Parks on the bus that day and explains how tirelessly she worked in the Civil rights movement. Such an important time in our collective history.

This small museum on Fisk U. campus doesn't compare to the same story told at the Legacy Museum, but there is still new information to glean. It's worth the stop if for no other reason than to pay tribute, which is still reason enough.
