After three years of planning and one year of construction, the now 4,000 square foot gallery finally opened its highly-anticipated North Wing (now part of a larger North Wing), also known as “Arts in America: 1700- 1900” on May 20, 1986. This museum gallery was the only one of its kind in the state of Florida at the time. The historic new gallery was designed to showcase selections from the Museum’s large and growing American collection of furniture, paintings, watercolors, drawings, and decorative arts including silver and glass. The gallery is interpreted chronologically with emphasis on the Pilgrim Century, the Eighteenth Century and the American Victorian Period.

The Schulte Gallery features a portion of the Tide Pool: Exploring Coastal Communities exhibition. Discover our remarkable shell collection, where intricate designs and diverse textures unfold, and uncover the often-overlooked world of sponges, the unsung heroes of marine purification.
