NEW MUSEUM

The Tampa Bay History Center is more than a mere repository for historical facts. Functioning as a liaison between the past and the present, the museum will honor our community’s character and heritage, stirring the spirit of adventure found in all its visitors with the generations of stories it has to tell.

THE VISION

This worthy objective—to preserve the Tampa Bay region’s history and transform a vision into a physical reality—lies in our hands.

The Tampa Bay History Center will benefit all…

Why does the Tampa Bay area need a regional history museum? The simplest answer is to preserve its stories.

Stories are both individual and universal, yet all of us can identify with their life-affirming power. When presented in an engaging way that draws on the power of experiences and the collective past of our people, history truly comes to life.

Beyond storytelling, a history museum can offer an unmatched return on investment. As the Tampa Bay History Center takes shape, we are mindful that our community will find immediate value and relevance in our museum with benefits that go beyond the telling of history.
