Before women’s soccer captured the world’s attention, the 17 athletes of the first U.S. Women’s National Team helped lay the foundation for the global success the sport enjoys today. Through striking portraits by acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Randy Bacon, The 85’ers captures the authenticity, strength, and tenacity of these groundbreaking athletes. This pocket exhibit also highlights the team’s meaningful connections to Central Florida. While the team’s popularity has grown nationwide, the athletes’ numerous ties to the local community make their achievements even more special for fans in the Orlando area.

About Pocket Exhibits
Pocket exhibits are small displays that use small spaces in the museum outside of traditional exhibition space and usually have a short run. They are a great way to showcase recent acquisitions and topics that might not fit into a major exhibition but still tell an interesting story of Central Florida’s history.
