The History Museum of Mobile opened Mobile in the Gilded Age on October 9, 2026, and the exhibition stays up through June 6, 2027. Gowns, inventions and everyday objects show how railroads, new technology and department stores changed life in Mobile in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The exhibition also covers the unequal opportunities and segregation of the period.
