Karpeles Manuscript Museum

The worker was nice as can be. Had a great time learning from him and talking

Wonderful collection! When I attended the focus was on the ballooning at the beginning of the aeronautical era.

Very nice and I learned a great deal that day. They charge every 4 month to something new. I'm interest to see what's new next.

Awesome little museum full of manuscripts you couldn't imagine would be in a little town like Alvin Texas. People are oblivious to the privilege Alvin has to host these treasures. They currently have a Holy Bible exhibit and I am not sure how long it will be in Alvin.

Is this one place I will have to go back to multiple times. At first it didn't seem like a lot items especially when you compare it to the Alvin Museum but each item had such depth in history that you could spend hours learning about it. Several documents were about Texas but many other items were across the states and even worldwide. Director has made himself very knowledgeable many of the documents and displays and can share quite a bit. Though sometimes it is nice to be able to just read and ponder in silence. Definitely encourage to visit on a regular basis the displays will change among the other museums.
