"This exhibition, which opened in 2017, manages to pack a ton of history into a small space. Though the “museum” is more like a one-room exhibition, it’s a fascinating document of Williams’s time in Key West (where it’s believed he wrote the final draft of A Streetcar Named Desire in 1947). A massive collection of photographs, first editions of his plays and books, personal artifacts, and an extensive archive of newspaper and magazine articles paint quite a comprehensive picture." - Jennifer M.
