From the East Coast to the West, you can find a huge array of museums in America that showcase all sorts of history and attractions. In the past, we've featured everything from underwater museums to museums full of ice cream, but up until now we've never before shined a spotlight on a national comedy center - and that's because one never existed until this summer! The first museum of its kind in America, and also possibly the entire world, New York's newest museum will have you filled with laughter.
Thanks to a $50 million dollar project that's finally come to fruition, the home town of Lucille Ball is now also home to the National Comedy Center.
Unlike any other museum in the country, the National Comedy Center in Jamestown has 37,000 square feet of exhibition space that showcases all things humor-related.
Its grand opening debuted on August 1st, and the National Comedy Center is expected to welcome 100,000 visitors in its first year.
Inside the museum, you'll discover more than 50 immersive experiences and exhibits that are part of the non-profit cultural institution.
Visitors of the comedy center will first create a humor profile; then they'll be able to explore content that's been tailored to their specific taste.
Come and visit this small town in Western New York to experience one of the most unique museums in our country; it's open seven days a week.
The comedy center is for more than just for die-hard comedy fans; this museum is a place that everyone who's looking for a good laugh will enjoy. Since it highlights all different eras of comedy history, you'll get to check out everything from the foundation of comedy to America's latest viral memes.
