Congrats on the completion of your film too! I will say that the Museum has been in existence for almost 30 years (since 1981) and each year we have more and more visitors, currently about 12,000 in a year. While many of our visitors ARE seniors, we also get many that are just discovering the Golden Age of Hollywood for the first time or are big fans of "old movies" on TCM. On any given day, you could hear several different languages being spoken in the Museum as internation visitors descend upon small Smithfield to visit the Museum. There is little to suggest an end in sight for the museum. Thank you for your kind words about the Ava Gardner Museum and Downtown Smithfield. Congrats on the completion of your film too!
