Posted by Sebrina Pilcher on Saturday, May 4, 2024

The Stoogeum boasts of nearly 100,000 pieces of what they refer to as "Stoogeabilia," staged in different areas of a three-story, 10,000-square-foot building. Here, you'll find an entire world of Stooge artifacts, ranging from authentic one-sheet movie posters to lobby cards. There are displays dedicated to a lot of the props used throughout the Stooges' career, as well as costumes worn by the gents and their co-stars. 

From their feature films in the 1960s, you'll find the submarine tank that was used as a prop in "The Three Stooges in Orbit." Also from that era are the costumes worn by the Stooges in "Snow White and the Three Stooges." There's also an entire area dedicated to the wide variety of merchandise that bear the Stooges' likenesses. Sets of commemorative Three Stooges plates, Halloween masks, action figures, and even nesting dolls can be viewed by visitors, really giving you an insight into how popular this trio of slapstick performers has been.

The Stoogeum also hosts an area dedicated to the countless pieces of fan art that have been submitted and collected over the years. Professional and amateur artists alike have their work on display at this public shrine to the Stooges, made up of paintings, drawings, ceramics, and more. Finally, no visit is complete without screening a Stooges film short. The Stoogeum also has an 85-seat theater that is perfect for this purpose.
