Posted: 01-28-2010 : SMITHFIELD, N.C.

SMITHFIELD, N.C. -- In July 2009, a newly redesigned website for www.avagardner.org was unveiled. The new site offers a more modern design while adding considerably to the content and images that were previously found by visitors to the site.

Since that time, the Ava Gardner Museum has increased its online presence by adding a Facebook Fan page and Twitter account. In addition, the Museum has also just launched the Ava Gardner Museum blog http://blog.avagardner.org/. These new media tools allow the Museum to interact with fans from around the world and continue the mission of the Museum by further educating people about the life and career of Ava Gardner.

Jessica Meadows Hammett states, “The hope is that this blog will be just one more way the Ava Gardner Museum can connect with both new and longstanding Ava Gardner fans, as well as disseminate information about upcoming events and exhibits at the Museum.”

The Ava Gardner Museum is located in downtown Smithfield, at 325 E. Market Street and more information may be found on the museum website, www.avagardner.org or by calling 919-934-5830. The museum is open Monday-Saturday, 9am-5pm with admission of $6.00 adults, $5.00 seniors and groups and $4.00 children.
