Before we get to the doors, do you remember my lesson on how to pronounce “Louisville?” Well, in case you don’t, the visitor’s center downtown has this cute reminder.
Now on to the last two theater/theatre doors I found on our walks back and forth from our motel to our daughter’s hotel.
These doors were certainly music to my ears. But don’t worry. There are other types of beautiful doors in Louisville, no matter how you pronounce it, and even if the light isn’t just quite right.
Drive over to Norm’s blog to see his door offerings before time expires, then click on the linkie critter to access doors from all over the world. Feel free to join us with your own door photos. It’s easy and fun.
Glad to see more of these 🙂
Just imagine seeing them all one after the other on my first day. I was so excited. 🙂

What fun doors!! And “how to pronounce Louisville ” is a hoot! Lol.
I don’t know why some of us are so fascinated with doors. For me it’s also windows and barns.
—-Ginger—-
Ginger, I like windows and barns, too. Some of the best barns I’ve seen, at least for photographic purposes, have been while driving on the interstate or some other place where I can’t stop, but can only look longingly at them! 🙂

Those are fun! Thanks for sharing these. I like the variations on the city name.
Yes and I love the way they presented it.
janet
Fabulous doors, Janet. Knobs would only detract from their artistic impact.

Evidently they’re exit-only doors. 🙂 They really are fantastic, though, and what fun to have your work displayed like that.
Agreed.

Love the sax the best. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed them. 🙂 These are probably some of the most unique doors I’ve seen, at least in what’s on them.
janet
These are beautiful doors. I don’t really min d not being able to say the name of the town correctly if it has doors like these.
Ha, ha. “Saying it right” depends upon who you talk to anyway, doesn’t it? 🙂
janet
Wow, these are exceptional!
Aren’t they great? If I were an artist, I’d love to have my work displayed like this for all to see without doing anything more than walking by. Each door had a small plaque next to it with artist and door information on it.

Parking meter door!!! Yes, I want that for our house.
But I want it to be functional so that guests know when it’s time to leave, or they get ticketed 😀
Ha, ha, and they have to deposit money to park there. Great way to fund your retirement eventually, don’t you think? Either that or it will cut down dramatically on visitors. 🙂
janet
Love it! And the giant mint julep looks good enough to slurp! 😀
Might take a little while to get the alcohol out of your system for that baby!
janet
The sign makes me think of – actor – blanking out on his name -trying to pronounce “hamburger!” My kind of cheerful doors:)
I just love all that character and spirit. Seems like the town is really an artistic hub!
It is, Hannah. Lots going on there.
janet
🙂 Amazing, how differently doors can look.
And I really like the Louisville cup!
A very HAPPY day to you, dear Janet!
xo 🙂
And to you, too, Claudia.
Oh, wow! These doors are fabulous.
I hope you saw the other couple entries. They were all wonderful.
janet
Great art work on these doors, but I wonder how do they open them???
From the inside, Pauline. They’re not entrance to the theater doors.
janet
Cute doors – both of them 🙂
All the doors were just great and such a pleasure to discover. Glad you enjoyed them, too.

Fun post, Janet, I liked the festivity and color.
I think it must be fun as an artist to have your work displayed like this, where ordinary people can see it whenever they walk by.
Brilliant find, Janet. I was wondering about the door handles till I saw your comment about them being exit only doors.
I love the art on display this way. I’m assuming they’re only exit doors because how else would you get in? 🙂
This is fun! You remind me to take photos of these amusing and quirky discoveries. I’m thinking of the doors I didn’t photograph and wish I had… next time
It’s so much fun, Jane. I take photos of all sorts of odd things. 🙂
janet
looks there is enough time left on the meter to chat and hang out some more and enjoy the art —
coffee please!
Yes, plenty of time. I don’t have coffee, but I have lots of tea or feel free to bring your own coffee.
janet
tea will be just fine – hah
These are great Janet. 🙂
Thanks, Su. I loved finding and sharing them. 🙂
Artistic doors are a bonus every time. Love these two. 🙂
I wish they were somewhere that I could see them often, Judy. 🙂
janet
I just love these painted doors that you’ve found in Louisville. Thanks so much for sharing them. 🙂 -Amy
It’s been my pleasure, Amy. I enjoyed them so much that I was happy to have a place to share them.
janet
Is the scale picture a door? That’s incredible.
Yes, it’s a painting on a door as is the one above it. Amazing work, I agree.
