Permanent Collection Digital Exhibit and Archive
​
At FMM, we strongly believe in public access to the objects and artifacts in our care. In an effort to increase our digital accessibility, we have begun the digitization of our permanent collection through Omeka, an online exhibition and collections archiving platform.
The project is currently ongoing, but viewers can already explore the full catalog of our traveling exhibit "Chart Your Course" and the robust beginnings of the Captain Blake Bank's collection. Be sure to view our Omeka site frequently - our collections staff are adding new objects weekly.

Caught in the Storm:
100 Years of Hurricanes in Florida
​
The indoor portion of this exhibit at the museum walks visitors through all the hurricanes that made direct contact with Florida land between the period of 1919 and 2019. The outdoor component puts flooding into context by showing just how high storm surge levels would look on our buildings.​
​
Explore the digital component of this exhibit and join Pip the Pelican to learn about the birth of a storm, anatomy of a storm and more.
Thank you to the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitor's Bureau for supporting this exhibit.
