Amazing collection to see, overwhelming amount of fabulous vehicles from all eras, and an education in the history of the automobile and racing, and some of the development of the Naples area. Really fun museum if you are at all excited by sports cars, or have children who are.

My husband and I have lived in Naples for over twenty years and when we decided to buy our first piece of original art we anticipated the experience to be intimidating and overwhelming, but it proved to be anything but all thanks to the extremely kind, open, and highly knowledgeable owners Olga and Leeza Arkhangelskaya of East West Fine Art. This elegant yet approachable gallery located within Mercado shopping district is filled with gorgeous pieces displayed with equal beauty from a variety of artists. We left with an oil on canvas painting from the extremely gifted Russian artist Irina Alexandrina. This magnificent piece now hangs in our living room and brings us tremendous joy. We look forward to many more visits to East West Fine Art gallery and adding to our collection.

Collier Museum at Government Center

Nestled on five acres of native Florida landscaping, our flagship museum at the County Government center in Naples offers newly created exhibits and galleries that capture the full panorama of local history. Pack a picnic and linger a while in the museum's shady backyard. Then do a little exploring on your own in our native gardens, restored Naples cottages, the archaeology lab, Seminole village or Calusa Indian camp. Enlarged twice, the museum's main gallery offers over 10,000 square feet of new displays, plus a traveling exhibit room, lecture hall, and gift shop.

Being Europeans, holidaying for Winter, on Marco, we had a list of places we would like to see during our stay. We were pleased we had a Sat.Nav., as, this is, as many say, not easy to spot, watch the building number as you drive on Tamiami, as you will need to get into the far right lane to make the exit into the Government Center, for the Museum, car park. One moment, you are on a six lane main road, then you are in a quiet, roomy car park. The Museum is sign posted, and from outside, looks quite small. This is because the entrance is a reception area, with a double door at the rear, out to the exhibits. We were warmly greeted, and given tips, and a plan. We were also pleasantly surprised to hear, that admission was free of charge. Once outside, through the rear doors, we found it difficult to believe, that we were so close to the traffic. We started by the platform, with the full size train engine, then visited all the different small cottages, and followed the history of Naples, and Collier County. Lots of trees, and flowers around, and, pretty flat, with gravel pathways. We found a wooden garden bench, across from the small orchid rotunda, and enjoyed a lovely, peaceful picnic, joined by squirrel, and several small birds - lovely !! This is not a very large place, so, allow one - two hours, depending if you wish to picnic, or not. There are no restaurants inside here. A very informative, and, enjoyable time. Thank you, to the very knowledgeable gentleman, who greeted us, and gave us information, on how to make the most of our visit. We certainly did, and enjoyed every minute. ,

A few friends and I visited the Naples Art center to see an exhibition by Marcus Zotter last weekend and WOW. The space is big and gorgeous. The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful- this place even offers classes upstairs! Definitely a downtown Naples hidden gem.

Museum of the Everglades

Escape Naples' dazzling pace of development for a day and spend a lazy afternoon exploring the history of nearby Everglades City. Once accessible only by boat, this remote frontier trading town took an ambitious new turn in 1923 as the hub of Barron Collier's personal Southwest Florida real estate empire - with a population of fewer than twelve families. First opened in 1927 as a commercial laundry, today's Museum of the Everglades dates back to a time when construction of the famous Tamiami Trail was well underway and the tiny settlement of Everglades served as the first County seat. The museum's permanent and rotating exhibits provide visitors with an in-depth look at over 2,000 years of human history in the area and tell the story of those adventurous enough - and stubborn enough - to settle Southwest Florida's lush "River of Grass." Faithfully restored to its original, 1920s Collier-era appearance, the museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is located 35 miles east of downtown Naples.

A very informative video play in the back of the building which helps you appreciate the opening of Collier County and connecting it to the East Coast. Watch the video first and then wander through the rest of the museum looking at all the displays. It gives you appreciation for the effort involved with building a road through the Everglades. Mr. Collier was a genius! I would allocate at least 2 hours to read every exhibit. This would be a perfect ride on a rainy day as it’s all inside.
