I spent a Friday morning here. It was super quiet with plenty of time to enjoy each piece of art. It fit in beautifully with the reading I've been doing lately - "A Land Remembered" and anything by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. If I'd seen this art (especially the mural at the beginning with native Florida plants) sooner, I would have been able to better visualize what I read. Here's to Florida!

We stopped to check out MOAS and found it to be an excellent place to stop in Daytona. The displays were professional and neat and very well maintained. The antique furniture on display is exquisite. We also liked the train cars and the Root family display of bottles and antique Coke machines very unique plus so much more. The planetarium had a wonderful show and don’t forget the gardens as you leave.
