This is the museum we went to:
https://sigalmusicmuseum.org/
It's one of several cultural amenities all clumped together around a park called Heritage Green on the north side of downtown. The county art museum, children's museum, history museum, main county library, and the Greenville Theatre are all located there. The Sigal Museum is the only one in an historic building, an old Coca-Cola bottling plant that predates everything else on the site. Right now there is work and streetscaping underway to better and more pleasantly connect Heritage Green to the rest of downtown.
It's very "Greenville" that there would be an historic industrial building incorporated into the complex. Greenville is littered with historic industrial structures that have found new life as this, that, and the other. There are several right in the heart of downtown, even, including old textile mills, a cigar factory and a cigar warehouse, and a factory that made coaches and carriages.
