The facility, which opened in 1977, maintains hundreds of Hibel's paintings, which are known throughout the world. Visitors may also view sculptures, porcelains, and lithographs.

561-627-8280 | | | | | Description: JUNO BEACH. The goal of this small museum is the preservation of the marine environment and the creatures that populate it, especially sea turtles. In the museum, interactive displays educate visitors on the local environment, while nature trails take the efforts outdoors to the landscape itself. The area around the center is a popular breeding ground for loggerheads, leatherbacks, and green turtles, and during the height of the season, the museum sponsors guided walks on the beach to see them. Reservations may be made for these excursions beginning May 1, so plan ahead, because spaces go quickly.
