Louisville Historical Museum 2019 Q14 Additional comments about Museum facilities: Answered: 15 Skipped: 19 RESPONSES DATE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Need to provide better handicap accessibility and restrooms. Need to have more space to display more of their collection. Need to have a comfortable, easily accessible area for programs, community events and space for staff to work. What is going on with the empty lot next to the museum? Loved the donkeys! thanks for bringing the Burros! Would be great to have more space - you have such wonderful collections! Also not sure about the accessibility - just saw front stairs. Thank you for doing such great work! With such wonderful collections, it is a shame that there is not more space to exhibit them. Our community is lucky to have the facilities and excellent staff that engage us in our history, and provide us a vision for the future. Need for both additional space for exhibits and for artifact organization in storage. The Museum Campus needs to have additional space for displaying more of their collection, community events, meetings and work space for staff members. There is a definite need to provide better accessibility for disabled people into the buildings on the Museum Campus. The staff at the Museum does a great job with what they have available for them to work with. The City of Louisville should be embarrassed and mortified by the fact that they are not working toward providing an enhanced environment for its residents and visitors at the Museum Campus since it is the "Heart" of Louisville to provide generations to come and experience the foundation of its history. 10 As noted earlier, the Museum needs a new building to support the critical infrastructure of the Museum's operations, and resources for programming. 11 Staff is always helpful, professional and resourceful! Bridget Bacon is a true asset for the City. 12 wheni am home --in Louisville --I try to go to the museum and some of the "walks" they have --it's so good to keep the knowledge of Louisville alive ---Lynnor Bogle 13 ADA bathroom necessary! Better signage at front for handicapped access in rear of building. Jordinelli house needs exterior spruced up (cleaned, painted, etc). North entrance to Tomeo House often dirty (spiderwebs, etc. on walls and walkway). I'm at the museum twice a month and often feel sad that the museum doesn't have better "Main Street" pride. The flowers are nice in the spring/summer, but cleanliness, weed -free grass, and a welcoming front -face is a must to preserve the character of historic Louisville. 14 There seems to be so little room and so many collections. I know its in a small original building, but its a shame they couldn't expand it to allow more room for browsing. I wasn't even aware that its an actual "campus" with multiple buildings! I am a little confused what the concrete slab is doing there and why it isn't being used for something. I also have a family member who is in a wheelchair and it wasn't comfortable for her at all to even try to go in there or be able to maneuver around comfortably, so she had to stay outside while we browsed.:( 15 Definitely needs more space! Staff does an excellent job considering how cramped the facilities are! 7/1/2019 9:54 PM 6/21/2019 2:01 PM 6/21/2019 2:00 PM 6/21/2019 1:59 PM 6/21/2019 1:17 PM 6/14/2019 3:15 PM 6/13/2019 11:41 AM 6/7/2019 3:37 PM 6/7/2019 12:31 PM 6/3/2019 11:29 AM 6/2/2019 6:58 PM 6/1/2019 12:23 PM 5/31/2019 3:24 PM 5/31/2019 3:10 PM 5/31/2019 2:59 PM 14/14
