Each quarter we update our Temporary Exhibit Room with a new Featured Exhibit, so be sure to check back with us frequently.
CURRENT FEATURED EXHIBIT
Our new featured exhibit is The 250th: Relationships and Conflict!
The Amelia Island Museum of History is excited to partner with the Florida Humanities and the Smithsonian, as part of the Smithsonian’s Museums on Main Street initiative, to present their exhibit “Americans.”
Adapted from the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, this exhibition will run from August 21, 2026, to October 2, 2026. The exhibit focuses on four pivotal historical events: Thanksgiving, the life of Pocahontas, the Trail of Tears, and the Battle of Little Bighorn.
These touchstones infuse both American history and contemporary life. The exhibition shows what is remembered, contested, cherished, and denied, and why those narratives still resonate today.
Accompanying this, the Amelia Island Museum of History has collaborated with the University of North Florida on the companion project, “Visualizing Indigenous Florida.”
This exhibit will run concurrently from August 21, 2026, to October 2, 2026.
This project aims to correct misconceptions about Florida’s Indigenous peoples. It provides an authentic narrative through contemporary images created exclusively by Indigenous artists.
