The Museum did a fine job educating me on some of the local artist that were an influential part of the Key West culture. The historical section of the museum was also a great overview to the local history. I would highly recommend this museum to Art and History buffs. During our visit I enjoyed the displays for Mario Sanchez,... More

Lots of interesting information on Flagler's Key West extension of the Florida Railway. The complete history from the very beginning to present day. Also a great exhibit of Hemingway artifacts, etc. The restored customs house is worth seeing in itself!

Good display and a short movie about how the railroad... More

The Building it self is beautiful and the artwork / sculptures are really intriguing. The History of Key West is so varied and should not be missed. Some of the displays do change and right now they are doing a display honoring Mr Flagler and the train. It is very well done.

This museum is in the former Custom House and is close to Duval St. and other Key West museums and Mallory Square. The structure is quite large and holds much. We went there four years ago when we were last in Key West and then it was free. Today there is a charge but it is less than other KW... More
