The Frazier History Museum is a museum in Louisville, Kentucky's "Museum Row" in the West Main District of downtown. It is named for the museum's founder Owsley Brown Frazier. There are traveling exhibitions on display that are on loan from various sources. The museum has a Rooftop Garden and Loft event space that are often rented for weddings or corporate events. In addition, a number of costumed interpreters are employed, who perform daily historical interpretations as well as live demonstrations. Educational, cultural and entertainment activities are hosted at the museum throughout the day and evening. The museum is an affiliate in the Smithsonian Affiliations program. The facilities include 75,000 square feet of exhibition space over three floors, as well as two areas for interpretations, a 120-seat auditorium, and various displays (including multimedia, interactive and audio-visual). The Frazier Museum Store is on the first floor in the front of the museum, that offers local Kentucky gifts. The museum formerly (May 2004 – January 2015) displayed British Royal Armouries artifacts, which made us the only place in the world outside Great Britain to permanently house and display such artifacts.
