Tampa

Museum sights in Tampa

  1. Tampa Bay History Center

    In a new three-story building along the Riverwalk, this first-rate history museum is the best place to learn about the region's Seminoles, Cracker pioneers and the legendary Cuban community and cigar industry that formed the cornerstone of turn-of-the-century Tampa. Like maps? Its dazzling cartography collection covers 400 years of mapmaking, as conquistadors and tycoons tried to pin down Florida. An outpost of the Columbia Restaurant makes a delicious lunch stop.
