This exhibition is the first public display of the Paul & Joan Gluck Collection of Native arts from the Northwest Coast. Over the past 20 years, the Miami-based Glucks have assembled more than 200 art pieces to create one of the finest private Northwest Coast collections in the world. Pieces range from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries and include totem poles, ritual masks, pipes, drums, rattles, jewelry, blankets, baskets, bowls and fishing hooks.

Seminole Arts from Florida Collections
On display February 23 through June 1

Experience masterpieces of Seminole art from the Historical Museum of Southern Florida and several other Florida museums. See patchwork, beadwork, silverwork, baskets and dolls made by Seminole artists from the nineteenth century to the present. Learn how art forms have helped the Seminoles to adapt to the Everglades environment and to express their cultural identity in relation to outsiders.

Back issues of the Historical Museum’s scholarly journal, Tequesta, are now online.

Published annually since 1941, Tequesta contains articles about the history of South Florida, especially of the Miami area, the Florida Keys and the Everglades. The breadth and depth of the articles make Tequesta one of the best sources for the study of South Florida history.

Electronic versions of Tequesta have been produced by Florida International University Libraries’ Digital Collections Center, thanks to funding from the State University Libraries’ Florida Heritage Program
