New Key West Art & Historical Society Exhibit Salutes the Navy
The Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates the connection between the U.S. Navy and the island of Key West with a new Custom House Museum exhibit, ‘The Navy in Key West’ which launches with a special opening party on Friday, January 13 from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and runs through December 2017. The exhibit opens in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Naval Air Station Key West and explores how the island and the navy have relied on each other by highlighting unique images, artifacts, uniforms and military memorabilia along with interactive displays for learning about Key West’s maritime past. ‘The Navy in Key West’ exhibit is sponsored by the Helmerich Trust.
