If you're into art museums, don’t miss the famous Dalí Museum, filled with thousands of pieces by surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. The collection of contempory art glass at the Imagine Museum displays work from around the world. History buffs will get their fix at the St. Petersburg Museum of History, the Holocaust Museum (note: the museum is closed for renovations and expected to reopen in early 2025), the James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art, or the Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum. The Museum of the Arts & Crafts Movement showcases the beautiful design ethic of that time. For little ones, the Great Explorations Children’s Museum is a fantastic place to play and learn at the same time.
The area is also home to specialty museums that you don't want to miss such as the Penny Lane Beatles Museum in Dunedin, the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in Pinellas Park, and the pinball machine-filled Replay Amusement Museum in Tarpon Springs.
