The 1920s were a “Decade of Change” for Florida, and Tampa played a starring role.
From bootleggers and bathing suits to tourism booms, art deco buildings, and social movements – you can take a trip back in time at the newest exhibit on display at the tampabayhistory Center.
Experience the seismic cultural shifts of the era, from the rebellion in swimwear styles to Florida’s stand against booze during Prohibition.
The exhibition also peels back the layers of Jim Crow politics, architectural marvels, and the surge of religious fervor in the 1920s.
You’ll see the start of the iconic bungalows, blueprints, and artifacts from the opening night of the iconic Tampa Theater.
Listen to music from the era, learn the foxtrot, get a glimpse of the millions of tourists that flocked to Florida on the new roadways, and more.
