Tennessee Williams Key West Exhibit

On the quiet tree-lined Truman Avenue, this small museum preserves and highlights the legacy of revered playwright Tennessee Williams, and his short writing stint and vacation in Key West that gave birth to one of his most acclaimed works - A Streetcar Named Desire. The Tennessee Williams Key West Exhibit showcases everything from an ancient typewriter used by Williams, sepia-toned photographs, never-seen-before articles and play scripts, and other artifacts that will render any literary enthusiast weak in the knees. Admission is free, although donations are welcome.
