ROTATING EXHIBITS

Warble Gallery - Main Level

Solo art exhibit by Shelby County artist Joseph Gay. Joe's philosophy is that the emotion and feeling behind the finished piece is the most important element in each work that he creates. Joe's canvases are thought-provoking and exciting with his unique use of color and composition. The descriptive narrative accompanying each piece of art takes the viewer to a moment in time, or an emotional state of the person portrayed, and explains the artist's inspiration and thought process. You don't want to miss this exhibit-it is sure to give you pause in thinking, observing, and remembering when. Joseph can be reached at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

JONES GALLERY & GALLERY TWO 

 Coca-Cola: "It's the Real Thing!"

Enjoy viewing this beautiful, expansive display of all things Coca-Cola. You will be amazed at the variety of collectible items which bear the famous Coca-Cola imprint. This exhibit will amaze the viewer--you will want to return to view several times!

Grover Museum's permanent exhibits are always open for your viewing pleasure, and there is no admission charge to visit the museum! Grover Museum's three "changing" galleries are changed every 8-10 weeks. Two display cases are also changed every 8-10 weeks. 

The Streets of Old Shelby

Take a leisurely stroll through time and history as you walk along 
The Streets of Old Shelby. This permanent exhibit is the culmination of a 15-year project which was completed in 1996. Building fronts and room interiors show many objects and artifacts, giving a cross section of the Shelby County economy and lifestyle circa 1900. 

History of the Shelby County Railroad

Gallery features a railroad diorama with running trains. Display cases show a wide-range of signage, tools, and implements - everything associated with trains!

Doll House with Miniatures

The Isabella Kessler Doll House is a scale-model of a Victorian-style duplex, circa 1880. Built to a scale of 1 inch = 1 foot, this unique duplex  is fascinating with its accuracy and attention to the tiniest details!
