UPDATE: Here’s the White House pool report on the visit:
New York Times photographer Steven Crowley graciously shares with the pool that POTUS reminisced as he looked at a wall of framed records, “I still have all the albums.”
The pool was led to the front of the museum, a large Victorian house whose courtyard has walls painted red, green and yellow and a statue of Marley playing his guitar out front among the palm trees. “One Love” was being piped from the speakers as POTUS emerged through the front door along with a young woman who the White House identified as his museum tour guide, Natasha Clark. They circled around back of the museum without a word from POTUS.
There is a sign out front of the museum that reads, somewhat incongruously given the venue, “No smoking eating drinking cameras cell phones.”
