The South Florida Museum, located in Bradenton, Florida, is a museum specializing in the natural and cultural history of Florida's gulf coast. It houses exhibits highlighting Florida history from the prehistoric to the present period.[3]
The museum includes the Bishop Planetarium and Parker Manatee Aquarium, the home of Snooty the manatee (born in 1948, Snooty is the oldest known manatee in captivity, if not anywhere in the world).
The Bishop Planetarium, which was opened in the mid 1960s, has recently been remodeled and received a significant technical upgrading.
