The Florida Keys History & Discovery Center’s Rotating Gallery through its changing exhibits seeks to create a dynamic visual experience for residents and visitors, increase exposure and opportunities for artists who live and work in the Upper Keys, and educate the public about history and the unique ecosystems of the Florida Keys.
