The White Rock Lake Museum has been at the Bath House Cultural Center since 2004. Finding a new home for it has been a controversial undertaking.
the fight for the museum wouldn’t be over until it’s actually removed from the Bath House. This week, Ted isn’t so optimistic. “There’s no muscle on this. The people on the board, the people behind the museum, aren’t pushing,” Ted said. “It’s just sad.”
She also said there’s no report of how much it will cost or how long it will take for the building to be available. That's why she and others feel like the museum could end up staying in storage forever. She’s heard it suggested that since the Bath House was racially segregated at one point, and because the museum doesn’t address that history, it isn’t worth saving. If that’s the case, De la Harpe said the museum is willing to make adjustments. They’re now exploring a partnership with the African American History Museum and the White Rock Chapel to curate at least three new exhibits that represent diversity and reconciliation.
Maria Hasbany, the park board representative for City Council’s District 9, where the lake is located, said the museum was told a long time ago that the Office of Arts and Culture needed the space. They want the space for programming as part of the city’s cultural plan.
