Event Details

Exhibit opening: Beaches, Creatures, & Cowboys: Florida Movie Posters

Time: 10:00 am til 5:00 pm

Location: Southwest Florida Museum of History

Description: This exhibit presents a selection of colorful, eye-catching posters that advertised films. Movie marketers designed each image to appeal to a specific audience. Depending on the film, a poster might display a dramatic, heroic, romantic, or funny scene. Movie producers have been making films in Florida almost since the down of the industry. For a short time in early twentieth century, Florida even rivaled California as a place for movie making.

Day of The Dead The posters and lobby cards in this exhibit depict some of Florida’s most famous films from the early 1920s to the present. They represent part of the Museum of Florida History’s permanent collection of Florida movie memorabilia.
