The Henry Plant Museum interprets the turn-of-the-century Tampa Bay Hotel and the Victorian lifestyles of America's Gilded Age. The museum transports visitors of all ages and backgrounds to the late Victorian period, the beginnings of Florida's tourist industry, and the early years of the city of Tampa. 

The Henry B. Plant Museum is housed in the 1891 Tampa Bay Hotel, now a National Historic Landmark and home to the University of Tampa. This quintessential Victorian palace features unique Moorish revival architecture, opulent European furniture and art treasures of the original railroad resort.

The past will delight you at the Henry Plant Museum!
