All kinds of great artifacts to teach us about local Burbank history. Movie history, war history and founders history. Really a fascinating place to spark your time-travelers imagination. I came for the free Silent movie screening today. Silent films are best when seen with an audience! There is a Lockheed airplane staged in the park beside the Victorian house that is interesting, too. Not an official part of the museum but worth a gander!

I loved this place. It really is a gem that should be on everyones list to come visit. I came in a bit late, so I didnt get the chance to see everything, but Im definitely going to be back.If you love history and the valley, this place was built for you.

This place is great. Lots of interesting artifacts of American society from the early 1900s(and before). Also cool exhibits of the beginning of film production in Burbank and the history of animation and television(they have a jacket Johnny Carson wore on the tonight show). Plus some neat old cars that have been fully restored, clothes and furniture that are a 100 years old that are in great condition, an original statue from Bobs Big Boy, sections dedicated to the service of the Burbank fire department, police department and old military rifles. Upstairs they have an entire room full of really old pieces of pottery, pipes, musical instruments and more from around the world. Plus its all free, the only downside I see is that they are only open on the weekends from 1pm to 4pm but its definitely worth checking out. You could spend over an hour here and not fully be able to take in all they have to offer. Will be going back for sure. Docents and board members were very nice and more than willing to share stories and information about the exhibits. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Very nice museum. Variety of things to look at and experience.

Super cool cars. The staff was knowledge and welcoming. They let us know about surrounding museums that are similar in cars.

Very interesting stuff! Staff are very welcoming and kind! A must for any museum-loving person in the area!

Absolutely magnificent place if you want to learn more about history of Burbank

Really neat and fun. Full of memorabilia, exhibits and history of Burbank. Its rarely open so plan well in advance. I took my kids and we really enjoyed it and you look at the history aviation and film.

As a long-time Burbank resident, I was always aware of the museum but never had enough interest to visit it until now. What I experienced was not just a slice of Burbanks history but the development of any great city in the USA. There is the history of the founding of the town by Dr David Burbank and its development over the years to become the media capital of the world. Burbank has always kept its charm with a small town feel yet it is home to many movie studios and TV productions. It has its own airport and its own Water and Power. Its amazing and fascinating to see how this small town grew and what makes this museum so special are all the memorabilia that was collected for this museum. Youd expect to see old photos and letters but they had so much more. They had doll collections, a fashion room, several antique cars and vehicles that were restored and in running condition. There were several Rooms that were recreated with actual antiques to show you life in the early 1900s. This museum spanned two floors filled with antiques. There is even a home built and restored in the 1900s that you can visit next door. It would take 2-3 hours to take everything all in. The volunteers were very knowledgable and allowed us to stay a little later after closing. There is no charge to visit this museum although they do appreciate donations. I would say this is a perfect place to take your family or a date to. Definitely with visiting a second time too.

Great place to learn history of Burbank. It’s a huge place way bigger then I expected. Worth a trip to take your family.

Shared a wonderful afternoon with friends about the history of Burbank and so many interesting things about decades gone by. Definitely a treasure that needs to be discovered by all.

Great treasure in Burbank.
