Cultural and Historic Sites

As Florida's Cultural Capital, the museums in The Palm Beaches tell our illustrious story and show what sets us apart as a world-class destination. We have museums of art, history, science and even trains; and one dedicated to children. We also have museums on the National Register of Historic Places. That's where the buildings are an actual part of history. Visit one or consider visiting them all… you never know what you may learn.
