Most of the art is available for purchase and they have a price list at the front desk. Both collections we browsed were exceptional and very good choices. They rotate the artists about every 3 months so if you vacation here once a year you will see new art each visit. They have a gift shop with small items. One of my favorites were "mini-vases", all handmade and cute for about $10 each. Perfect for putting small plants in or adding some handmade decorations to your house. The outside area is stunning. Parking is very limited, probably only 10 spaces. You will drive under some live oaks to park which is very serene. They have a very quiet tea room with a view of the ocean. If I was local I would come here to work for a few hours each week. There is one sculpture on the lawn showcasing ocean plastic litter. Skip those plastic straws and drink out of the cup like a man lol. I would like to see more sculptures or statues on the lawn in the future, make the outdoor area more about art. I definitely recommend stopping here if you enjoy art. I will visit each time I'm in the area.

What a gem! We took a family vacation in January and needed to incorporate some educational…read moreexperiences into our trip. This gallery was suggested and I'm glad we checked it out! We had a group of ten, so I reached out to the museum (as on their site it recommends doing so for groups of ten or more). We were able to schedule a group tour and art activity for $5 per person! But we also would have been free to just visit the museum on our own. The museum is housed in a beach house that was actually moved to the current location from further up the coast. It is a beautiful building with a more modern add on that houses the offices and studios. There is a gorgeous sunporch with games and puzzles that you can enjoy while there. The museum always has two digital exhibits. When we were there it was two South Carolina artists with extremely different styles. One was batik and nature scenes that were full of beautiful color. The other was more modern/abstract and used some interesting layering techniques. The museum educator gave us great information about each artist along with information about some of the museum's permanent collections and history of the museum and building. When we were done with our tour, we were able to make our own batik designs which used white wax crayons and watercolor to design whatever we wanted. It was really fun to get creative in this beautiful space! Overall this is a lovely place to visit. The museum is free but they do accept donations. You won't spend a ton of time here, but it is a great place to spend an hour or so, especially on a rainy or cold day.

Atlantic Beach known as "The Black Pearl" is a strip of primarily black-owned coastal property in Horry County.

Our art museum contains works by some of the most prolific African Diaspora artists of the past two centuries. Currently on display are works by Romare Bearden, Sam Gilliam, Lois Mailou Jones, Faith Ringgold, John Biggers, Kwesi Botchway, Beauford Delaney, Chakaia Booker, Richard Hunt, Merton Simpson, and Stephen Towns.

We were very pleasantly surprised and spent about 1.5 hours perusing the exhibits and saw several of our relatives in the displays. While informative and well displayed, I found most items generic and would have been more interesting if more specific human interest was attached to them. Additionally, there is ample display area for more exhibits such as geologic survey of Horry county, historical developmental / land use of the county as well as future growth and use trends. Overall, a great little, local museum in Conway worth checking out.

Built in a former school, it's a treasure trove of local county history, complete with pictures and artifacts. Being a free museum, I went in with low expectations thinking I'd be in and out within 15 minutes, but spent quite a bit of time appreciating everything they have on display over the 2 floors of exhibits. I don't like niche museums that hit you with history overload, but Horry County Museum does their displays just right where you can walk through at your own pace, spending a little more time on those that catch your eye and interest you. The only thing which I felt was a little out of place was the aquarium type set up with fish they had by the spiral staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. While not a world class museum, I felt it was perfect for a small town like Conway, and I recommend a visit if you're in the area and have some free time. It's a perfect rainy day activity to consider if you like museums and are visiting Myrtle Beach.

It's…read moreopened limited hours but is curated by those personally connected to the history of segregated schools in Myrtle Beach and adjoining coastal towns. We stopped by on a Friday morning when it was a little too cold to be at the beach. We were surprised by the personal and warm welcome. This is essentially a small non-profit museum telling the story of the black school built in 1932, and the subsequent integration of schools in the 60s. Cookie Goings gave us a personal tour. She was a former educator and guidance counselor, and her sisters were part of the integration of the schools in Myrtle Beach so she told us both generalized history and personal stories. The original frame schoolhouse wasn't saved, but this building replicates a portion of the one-room schoolhouse and includes items contributed by students who went to the school. The rest of the building has an education center classroom and library. Tours weren't formalized and there weren't tickets required. Admission was free but there was a donation box. There was parking available in front on grass spots. They don't have a website, but use their Facebook page regularly as their web presence. Yelp won't let me link to it.

Some favorite areas were definitely the grocery store zone, peach orchard, car shop, and the large lite bright. I also LOVED this coloring zone they had, where after their pictures were colored we scanned them on this table and then they were animated onto a tv screen. It was so cool!

The only difference is this one is just about the biggest one I've ever seen at Myrtle or any other beach and they have old cars, tractors, trucks and some random motorcycles and other antique vehicles spread throughout the store. Most of the vintage vehicles are just used as displays piled high with Myrtle Beach shirts and towels. Unlike a real museum, there is no signage explaining what you are looking at. What year is this truck? What's its significance? Does it run? Anyway. I would definitely not make a big effort to go out of my way here to see the museum. If you need some cheap junk from a beach store and you're nearby, this would be the one I would go to.
