10 Museums in Florida Keys That You Shouldn't Miss

November 24, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Stretching 126 miles south toward Cuba, the stunning Keys are a perfect escape. Highlights along the way include Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine Key and the irrepressible Key West. Get up close with an amazing array of fish while snorkeling, diving or fishing in the warm turquoise waters. Creeks, coral and costumed spectacles are other lures along the way. Highway 1 is a spectacular ribbon tying together the islands and atolls of this paradise between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic.

Key West Pottery

Originated in 2009 by the artists Adam Russell and Kelly Lever, our Company has grown to include a small army of local artisans and creatives producing an authentic expression of life in this beautiful place— without relying on cliché. As the epitome of authentic artwork made on the island we carry a diverse selection of bespoke items — from the Island’s BEST coffee mugs to award winning outdoor sculpture, visitors encounter the most well-rounded Gallery program on Duval Street. Over 10 years, we have developed a brand of tropical modernism that is unique and diverse enough to fit into any home. We believe that you will find Key West Pottery to be a soulful and sincere art experience that ties you to the local’s perspective of Key West.

This is such a unique shop, with beautiful pottery, prints, and gifts in many different sizes & price ranges. There really is something for everyone. I’m a fan of purchasing art as souvenirs when I travel, and am so glad that I purchased a beautiful, unique plate from here. It’s now hanging on my living room wall & looks amazing. Thank you Key West Pottery, you rock. P.S. I suggest following them on Instagram @keywestpottery too!

We go to Key West once a year and always make it a point to stop in on Jennifer at 7 Artists. She's the best - knowledgeable, friendly and just down right nice! Every year we take home a print of a local Key West artist...Come to think of it, our home is now an extension of our favorite 7 Artists Gallery.

We went and thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Chief Eddie. He told a lot of history about the Fire House and we were surprised how much we learned that day.

Maltz, designated the Official Wildlife and Fine Art Photographer for the State of Florida, presents his fine art photography, limited edition prints on aluminum and canvas, and award winning books at his Key West gallery, daily.

My wife and I have purchased several pieces of Alan's beautiful artwork and proudly display them throughout our home. Mr. Maltz and his entire team consistently provide outstanding customer service. When in Key West, I highly recommend a visit to the gallery.

Old Road Gallery

An Art Gallery featuring resident artists Dwayne & Cindy King as well as other local Keys artists. An attached workshop where visitors can watch Dwayne & Cindy create and a tropical hardwood garden with winding pathways adorned with sculptures and surprises.

Reviewed By Gizzards

Old Road Gallery is at Mileage Marker 88.8. It is an art studio owned by Dwayne King (copper & brass) and Cindy King (pottery) They also have on display several other artists products. The store is small, but packed with beautiful one-of-a-kind items. Cindy gave us a tour and suggested we visit the gardens. We really enjoyed the Sculpture Garden - full of wonderfully whimsical corners with functional seating, broken pottery pieces and several of the neighbors roosters & chickens! I inquired about a ceramic butter bell and there was one, but I already had one that was similar. I ended up purchasing aSecret Wooden Box for $18.00. Definitely stop in and be sure to see the garden!

Art On Duval Key West

Fine art gallery showing works of local and internationally collected artists and photo/artists.

Reviewed By rwm84fm

What a fantastic gallery! We recently shopped nearly every gallery in Key West looking for a prominent piece for our home and found it at Art on Duval! Michael Procaccini, the owner/artist, was fantastic and so very helpful. After evaluating and negotiating with a couple of galleries, we purchased “Drifted” by Alex Popovski in 36 x 48” canvas format and had it shipped home. It arrived safely and looks fantastic! Thanks again Michael and hope everyone visiting galleries in Key West shop your gallery.

Key West Lighthouse and Keeper's Quarters Museum

Operated by the Key West Art & Historical Society, the Keys oldest cultural non-profit. The mission of the Key West Art & Historical Society is to preserve the culture of the Florida Keys through exhibiting and displaying regional art, architecture and history for the purpose of educating the community and visiting public.

Reviewed By rachels142 - Knoxville, United States

Almost everyone goes to the Hemingway House. The Key West Lighthouse is basically right across the street, so you might as well tack this tour on to your Hemingway House tour. The small lighthouse museum has recently been redone. It has lots of good information/artifacts plus a short video. You also get to take the steps to the top of the lighthouse. Plan to go on a clear day to see the entire island. My only complain is that it is a little pricy, but most things in Key West are. Go see the Hemingway House and the Key West Lighthouse and top off your day with lunch (or dinner) at Moondog Cafe (located right next to the Hemingway House).
