We are so excited to announce that our first exhibits in our new cases are completed and on display! We have two cases, with one serving as a permanent exhibit focused on the general history of Gibbs, and the other containing rotating exhibits. Our rotating exhibits case currently features collections from the Pinellas County Center for the Arts (PCCA) program, as well as trophies and other items of note from both Boys’ and Girls’ basketball teams. The cases are housed in the Grande Theatre lobby.
If you have questions or items to donate, please contact us at gibbshistorymuseum@gmail.com.
