Karpeles Manuscript Museum

MOORE

An interesting collection of historical documents. Lots from Charles Darwin. Treaties/terms of agreement ending World War II and description of German/Russian spy are highlights. Free! Near Wright Park conservatory.

The exhibits are interesting and get changed every so often so there's always something new to see. The guy working there is very passionate and knowledgeable and provides great conversation.

Lived in Tacoma my whole life and never knew of this museum. It has a rotating display of topics but if you like old historical documents this is a place you will find interesting. Fairly small and limited but what they do have is interesting to look at and appreciate a time prior to the digital age. Not recommended for children, lack of interest and preservation of the documents but history buffs should enjoy. Curator is a cool gentleman as well.

Museum full of historical documents and historical document reproductions! It's one of 6 such museums, and has a vast and enviable collection. The exhibits cycle every 6 weeks or so, so there's always going to be something new to look at. Really fascinating and fun for any history buff!
