(Smithfield, NC)—Visitors to the Ava Gardner Museum will find that the Museum's Gift Shop offers unique Ava Gardner items, not to be found anywhere else. Recently added to the Gift Shop is the 2010 Ava Gardner Museum Calendar.

Since 1999, the Ava Gardner Museum has created an annual calendar that includes exceptional photos of "the most beautiful woman in the world." As Ava was one of the most photographed women at MGM, the Museum has a large collection of photos to share through these annual calendars, without ever repeating a photo. The calendar also includes information about Ava's life, noting dates of film premieres and family members and co-stars' birthdays. The calendar also observes landmarks in Ava's life, such as November 7, 1951, the date of her marriage to Frank Sinatra.

The 2010 Ava Gardner Museum Calendar is $10.00 and is available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop or through phone orders.

The Ava Gardner Museum is located in downtown Smithfield, at 325 E. Market Street and more information may be found on the museum website, www.avagardner.org or by calling 919-934-5830. The museum is open Monday-Saturday, 9am-5pm with admission of $6.00 adults, $5.00 seniors and groups and $4.00 children.
