Water Stories
June 23, 2007 - January 20, 2008
Water Stories explores our interaction with water in South Florida over the past 10,000 years through a family-friendly, multi-sensory experience with four main themes: nourishment, transportation, recreation and environmental impacts. Hear over 30 stories about living in South Florida’s aquatic world. See a prehistoric fishing diorama and early recreational fishing gear. View a variety of water vessels, including a Seminole Indian canoe, a trapper’s skiff, a wooden racing boat and a Cuban refugee boat. Catch a sailfish using a fishing simulator. Visit a hurricane preparedness room and track hurricane activity with a live feed from the National Hurricane Center. Learn about water conservation and human impacts on fish and sea mammals.
Organized by Museum of Miami (formerly the Historical Museum of Southern Florida).
