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.

With that said I always appreciate someone wishing to share their collection with the public. Especially automobiles. I don't recall how many automobiles are on display, however there are several, closely arranged in four areas. The inside temperature was comfortable. The isle ways easily maneuvered through. Probably easy to get through with mobility issues. I didn't see any specific order of the displays. Not a Chevrolet or Chrysler specific area, however the owner favored Mopar products. Walking through should take around an hour. The collection included many muscle cars with excellent examples of factory "stock" race cars. Also some more obscure examples of little known cars. Several low production numbers cars. Unfortunately some of those low numbers cars were easily missed. You guide yourself. A tour guide would have been nice but I enjoyed my experience all the same. Overall a good experience. I'll probably return next year as they rotate other cars annually.

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.

Staff was excellent, and the Impressionist exhibit was wonderful. Well worth the modest entry fee…read more We will be back. The series "Lateral Hazard" aspires to be a "playful and thought provoking" exhibition on MB's title of golf capital and our history with the military base. It was neither. The art itself was "meh" and the two artists expressed distain for both the military and golf without exploring beyond condemnation. The "thought provoking" was roughly at the level of "golf and the military power connection are bad, man" I'm a big fan of free speech, so they can say whatever they want. And I'm just a regular guy, not an art critic. Just expected either thoughtful discussion, or engaging art- got neither. Waste of time and space.

This is the museum for the first public school for African-American students in 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.

Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center is a small chain of wax museums that opened in Los…read moreAngeles, California in February 1965. It was founded by Indian-born Canadian businessman and entrepreneur Spoony Singh. After touring famous attractions on Hollywood Boulevard, Singh realized he had not seen any celebrities save for their foot and handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. He wanted to give people a chance to get close and look into the eyes of their favorite entertainers. He purchased an empty brassiere factory and luggage shop near Hollywood Boulevard and reopened it as the Hollywood Wax Museum: a wax museum that put its focus on A-List stars as well as classic entertainers. Singh would retire in 1990 and pass away in 2006, but his family still runs the operation. Additional locations of Hollywood Wax Museum opened in Branson (MO) in 1996, Gatlinburg (TN) in 2007 (replaced by Pigeon Forge in 2012), and Myrtle Beach (SC) in 2014. My family and I recently visited the Hollywood Wax Museum's Myrtle Beach location while we were on an East Coast Road Trip. We decided to purchase the All Access Pass which also gave us access to "Hannah's Maze of Mirrors" and "Outbreak - Dread the Undead". As soon as we walked in, we got to take a picture with a life-size sculpture of King Kong! Afterwards we had a blast seeing lifelike sculptures of all of our favorite celebrities and characters, such as Indiana Jones, Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, the Terminator, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Beyoncé and much more! I especially enjoyed the Chamber of Horrors which featured Count Dracula, the Mummy, and my personal favorite: Frankenstein's Monster! Afterwards, we had a lot of fun exploring the mirror maze. We actually had a hard time finding our way out of there. I had fun exploring the zombie attraction, but the thought of it was way too scary for my wife and sons. They decided to have another trip through the mirror maze instead. We ended up spending over 2 hours at the museum. We highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys wax museums!

There are a few full scale models in various positions, which explanations of the muscles and nerves it takes for those positions. Then there are body parts such as a heart, lungs, dissected head (you see the different layers), etc. It was pretty small (just 3 rooms), but if you're really interested in this stuff, take your time & read/listen to all the exhibits. When we saw we were at the end we went back and really absorbed the info!

If you are curious as to the interior workings of the human body and want it from see it up close,…read morethis is for you. The exhibit has 5 "complete" bodies in various poses. As well as displays of individual limbs and organs. These are not fake models, they are all human subjects that have died and had their bodies preserved through a process called plastination (polymer injection) and then they are skinned and dissected to display bodily systems. We found it absolutely fascinating. It is one thing to see charts or plastic models, but to know this is the real thing made it so much more. The full bodies were in different poses so you can see the different muscles and skeletal positions needed to achieve them. There were also displays which showed a comparison of healthy vs. diseased organs. If you smoke or drink HEAVILY this may change your habits! This and other similar exhibits pop up around the country. If you get a chance, check it out.

Not bad for what I imagined it was going to be inside but pretty sad for what we got. Walk in and paid the gentlemen in the store front. He leads us to the start of our dino journey. We walk in and watch the entire video about dinos then walked all the way in to start seeing the dinos. You basically walk through a little path with several 9ft dinos along the way. A couple dinos in, there was a room with some sand tables for young archeologists to brush sand off of some bones. Our three year old enjoyed her time there until she realized the bones were stuck to the table. A couple dinos later, there is a large room with a large ball pit. The ball pit was probably my nieces favorite think about this place. When you walk in, about 3 dinos in, there was nothing telling you what kind of dino it was or anything about them. The wooden trunk stand was there but no sign like on the other dinos. All in all, not a bad place but you can cruise through this place in about 30 minutes. If you do that, you are going to walk out looking for the lube because I am sure everyone expects a bit more than they receive here.
