This is an incredible museum. We visited several years ago but they have added exhibits since. Take your time, there is a lot to read and so much to learn. We also did the lab tour which was absolutely amazing. Our guide talked about how artifacts are handled once they are salvaged and how they are prepared for display.

This museum is a must see if you've never been! Great story about a local family and their father who searched for, and eventually found the treasure from the sunken Spanish galleon of 1622 name "The Atocha'. On display, are some of the actual finds. Silver, gold, emeralds etc. There are 3 different levels of tours. Each one a bit higher priced. I've personally been a few times already, over the years. And usually just stop in for the basic. Around $25

This nicely preserved historical architecture site is lovely from the outside. The museum is arranged as a wonderfully insightful path to follow that begins with an orientation to treasure hunting around Key West. I enjoyed the sense of "reliving" Mel Fisher's passionate quest spanning years before ultimate success. The artifacts on display give a remarkable glimpse of centuries old portence. Detailed signs outline historical significance regarding the primarily European pursuit of resources in the "New World" and how that impacted native populations. All points are concisely covered with deference to the toil and suffering that occurred on the watch of Royal Families ruling over "countries" that they were able to commandeer the populations of to do their bidding and increase their powers on a global scale, using resources for trade as far as China. Conquests for resources at the behest of Royal orders are accurately described and depicted. From the pieces of ships to indigenous items, slave trade relics all the way up to some of the extravagant precious metal jewelry and gems that Royal families so desired before a deep study on Privateers and Pirates. On the way out, a closer look is given to more recent local history regarding the geopolitical involvements of the "USA" just past the mid-point of the 20th century. The gift shop has some cool items and when you finally leave.. There you will be in a beautiful place, enjoy.

This place honors the famous diver Mel Fisher. It talks about how he beat the odds, diving and searching for treasure for years until he succeeded.There are plenty of neat displays that show various objects from Spanish galleons recovered from various dives.Anyone who’s interested in sunken treasure or a story of incredible perseverance should check this out.
