The N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer can add Justin Bieber to the heartthrobs who have used it as a backdrop.

The Salisbury Post reported (http://bit.ly/11OJ0ze) had a three-hour photo shoot Monday at the museum, which was closed to the public for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Museum interim director Larry Neal says a production crew from Greensboro photographed Bieber in several locations at the museum. Neal said he never spoke to the pop singer, who traveled with an entourage and had a DJ playing music throughout the shoot.

Neal said onlooker photos, videos and autographs were prohibited.

George Clooney shot scenes for his movie “Leatherheads” at the museum in 2008. Bieber was in North Carolina to perform Saturday in Greensboro and Tuesday in Charlotte.
