History

The original Florida International Museum opened in 1995 in a former Maas Brothers department store and featured traveling blockbuster exhibitions, including "Treasures of the Czars" in 1995,[1] "Splendors of Ancient Egypt" in 1996, "Alexander The Great" in 1996, "Titanic" in 1998, "Empire of Mystery" in 1999, "John F. Kennedy, The Exhibition" in 1999 - 2000 and "Diana, a Celebration" in 2005.[2] In 2006 the museum moved to a smaller space in St. Petersburg College's Downtown Center. The original museum's final special exhibit was "Vatican Splendors" in 2008. The museum became a part of St. Petersburg College later in 2008, and was retitled.

Gulf Coast Museum of Art Collection

The contemporary Florida art collections of the now-defunct Gulf Coast Museum of Art became part of the Florida International Museum at St. Petersburg College in 2009. The new museum's inaugural exhibit in 2009 was "In a New Light – Selections from the Gulf Coast Museum of Art Collection". The museum was permanently closed on December 4, 2010.[3]

gollark: It may have been me using it wrong, but runit doesn't seem to properly terminate processes created by a shellscript unless I make *another* script with `killall` in it.
gollark: Anyway, I figure you could probably capture *most* of systemd's nice bits - parallel execution of stuff, no shell scripts, pleasant unit files, sandboxing - without depending on a hundred horribly interlinked C binaries doing everything ever.
gollark: It would of course still contain TOML.
