The Old Jail Art Center

Nice Museum

The art center is impressive for a small town. I enjoyed the video about Bob Nail Jr. The Asian display is very interesting.

This small museum always has good exhibitions.

This museum is well worth going out of your way to see its outdoor sculpture garden and its exhibits.

Unexpected quality in a small town!

If you visit Abilene, it is worth the short drive north to Albany to visit this old jail/museum. Not only is it centered around a historic jail with an original space including a cell with heavy steel...

Outstanding small town museum

The old jail museum is a remodeled over 100 year old Shackelford county jail and has a fantastic variety of European art Asian artifacts. Admission is free but well worth a generous donation.

Enlightening History of Albany

While we certainly enjoyed the art work, we love history. There are a couple of rooms in the Center dedicated to telling the story of Albany which we found fascinating! Well worth the visit!
