Natural History Exhibits
Connecting visitors to nature to develop empathy and awareness of the natural world.

This environmental education center is located on a piece of reclaimed waterfront property on Tampa Bay.  The center’s mission is to educate young people in proper environmental stewardship.  Staff-led hands on demonstrations augment messages at the center.  MAM Exhibit Design partnered with Frina Design to concept and produce the exhibits.

Location: Suncoast Youth Conservation Center; Apollo Beach, FL
