There are 19 museums participating here in Tampa Bay including one of our favorite places to explore, the Tampa Bay History Center. This is the perfect time to check out the new Treasure Seekers exhibit which tells the tales of Tampa Bay and Florida’s history of pirates, conquistadors and shipwrecks. There are even ways little kids can interact with the exhibit too, so it’s a great option for the whole family!
This year’s theme for the national event is ‘Experience America’, which represents the return to, and resurgence of, our country’s diverse cultural experiences, in the safest possible way.
