Since 1996, Lucy’s hometown has welcomed visitors from all over the world to the Lucy-Desi Museum in the heart of downtown Jamestown, New York. Inside its doors you’ll find a warm salute to the First Couple of Comedy! Here you’ll see priceless costumes, awards, photographs and other vintage memorabilia on display from the estates of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Exhibits change periodically to guarantee a new and exciting experience for the repeat visitor.

With a push of a button you can hear audio clips from Desi’s autobiography as well as stories of their youthful antics told by Lucy’s childhood pals. A unique radio plays clips both from Lucy’s 1940’s radio series, My Favorite Husband and some of Desi’s famous Latin songs.

In the museum’s screening area you’ll enjoy interviews with some of Lucy’s childhood friends and other rare video. Computers offer Lucy-Desi trivia and Lucy and Desi’s personal family scrapbooks!
