There are two public rooms: a larger room (about the size of a large living room) for the main exhibits and a smaller room with island history in photography. There was also a private research and reading room (perhaps for members, staffers, and researchers only). I like that this museum acknowledges various communities: LGBTQIA+, faith groups, and different cultures who lived on the island. Each got it's own spotlight. It also was fantastic about crediting locals who helped gather or supply information as well as trying to identify some of the people featured (e.g., in photos). There was a fun acrylic jigsaw puzzle of a map of Bainbridge in the main room that I put together. Overall, I think it's worth about 30-60 minutes of your time to swing by and learn about this island.

There's also a video playing about the hardships of the early settlers and racism. Bainbridge is also the birthplace of pickleball! Worth a stop by, you won't need more than 30 minutes unless you want to read every placard and watch the full video.

The art gallery is small but don't let that fool you. The staff and the docents took the time to explain their collection. It felt more like a guided tour and made all the difference. Their permanent exhibits feature many local artists like Aisha Harrison. While I don't have photos to post except a couple (Seattle during the pandemic), I would love for you to visit and experience it in person. There is no entrance fee though donations are encouraged. There is a bistro and a gift shop. On select days they have an outdoor market and a live band. What's not to like!!!

The staff wasn't friendly at all to kids and they made a feeling of "don't touch anything" even though it's a play place targeted to young kids. Was nice for a visit, but won't be back.

I learned about this tour from a friend and I think it's fairly new. At any rate, interesting tour. Not your typical here's the city and these are some of the landmarks and here are some fun facts. The difference is this tour was focused around the public art that can be seen everyday along the streets and sidewalks, built into the infrastructure, in the form of manhole covers or hatches as they are referred to. The folks conducting the tour included information of the various artistic manhole covers, combining it with first hand information from the artists and discussed the history of the work and how it fits into the identity of Seattle. They also provide information on the history of the city and how Seattle became the city you see as you take the tour. Pretty neat concept exploring aspects of the city that folks often take for granted as they pass by. Another fun fact about this tour is that it evolved out of an art project. I thought that was particularly interesting. Some of the prints, etc are pretty cool and again not what you would typically expect or encounter from one of these free tours. I'd recommend this tour to anybody to who wants to learn more about the history of Seattle, who appreciates public art or art in general and who has a free hour or so on a Saturday morning.
