Core exhibitions
Our core exhibitions tell the fascinating stories of the diverse peoples who have called Central Florida home – from early indigenous Americans, Seminoles, and Spanish cattle ranchers to citrus growers, soldiers, astronauts, visionaries, entertainers including Walt Disney, and more. Core exhibitions are permanent, but their content is routinely updated.
