The museum had two floors of interactive science exhibits, an art gallery displaying a range of works as well as a gift shop, educational classrooms and rental space for special events. The museum's mission was to stimulate interest in, and understanding of, how visual arts, sciences, mathematics, and technology connect.
Notable Exhibitions at the Museum
The museum staged several notable exhibitions, including Bodies: The Exhibition in 2009, Dale Chihuly's Seaforms in 2003, and multiple showings of the various Kokoro Sanrio animatronic dinosaurs. These exhibitions showcased a variety of themes and mediums, reflecting the museum's commitment to both art and science.
Closure of the Museum
In January 2012, Tallahassee Community College (TCC) and the board of directors announced the "indefinite" closure of the Museum. Despite efforts to bridge the financial gap, including selling some of the museum's artwork collection, the museum closed permanently due to financial difficulties and an inability to bring in blockbuster exhibits.
