Water Stories

Water Stories explores our interaction with water in South Florida over the past 10,000 years through a family-friendly, multi-sensory experience with four main themes: nourishment, transportation, recreation and environmental destruction. See prehistoric maritime artifacts, a commercial fisherman’s gear and rods and reels spanning from the nineteenth century to the present. This exhibition presents a chronology of water vessels, including an Indian canoe, a trapper’s skiff, a sailboat designed for Biscayne Bay’s shallow waters and a Cuban refugee raft.
