Daytona Beach: Museum Of Arts And Sciences

The Museum of Arts and Sciences features the Center for Florida History, home to the skeleton of a 13 foot-tall, 130,000-year-old North American Ground Sloth whose bones were found near the museum in 1974. The amazingly complete skeleton is considered one of the finest specimens of its kind in North America. Multi-cultural exhibitions include one of the most extensive collections of modern Cuban art found in the United States (including pre-Castro art from the collection of General Batista), and the African Wing (one of the finest African Art galleries in the Southeast), with 165 cultural relics from numerous African ethnic groups. Highlights of the collection include carved commemorative staffs, ritual ornaments, and 130 pieces of rare Ashante gold. The museum also has a fine assortment of 18th and 19th century antiquities. Guests will be interested in the various traveling exhibits and kids will enjoy the new wing of interactive exhibits, games and activities. There is also an exhibit featuring American fine and decorative arts (rare early American collectibles) from 1640-1920. Prehistoric Indian pottery shards, Native American arrow tips and interpretive educational exhibits about prehistoric Florida. There is a planetarium, and the Museum also manages Gamble Place, the former hunting preserve owned by James Gamble of Proctor and Gamble fame.
