The Charleston Museum was really great, with a large and eclectic collection of history from the area. We saw items from every era of the city’s history, from prehistoric to contemporary times. The museum does a nice job presenting all aspects of life in different time periods, from fossils to fashion of the time they have examples.

It is a fine museum to learn about the local history. There are not too many artifacts (but still quite plenty), and the format is very traditional and non-interactive, although there is a video played here and there. Good to drop if you have time, nothing to go especially out of your way for

Lots of really cool pieces of history in this museum. The Charleston whale, the mummy, the polar bear. lots of muskets and rifles, some natural history, a really interactive museum as well. I've been to many museums and I am happy to add this one to my list! A must see if you're in Charleston

I know it's not fair to give a museum low rating, but this one is really lame. Looks like someone came up with idea of filling up the space with whatever they could find around. Instead of learning in depth history of Charleston and South Carolina, one can even find an ancient Egypt - poorly shown - and one of the weirdest animals exhibits. I would really appreciate focus on local history. Bless is more in this case.

Nice , eclectic and involving collection! Great museum to visit with kids. I put it my agenda just because it’s a first museum in the United States. Original collection was destroyed by the fire, so all artefacts are much younger :) we love huge model of sloth. Kids would love a lot of animals from collection. The best thing- they validate your parking. So do 4 hours and you will have time to explore the museum and surroundings.
