The Christopher Columbus Museum is dedicated to the Quincentennial of
Columbus' daring voyage to the Americas in 1492.
The 300 ft wall space and
80 cases a total of 3,000 square feet of displays present a broad collection of
diverse and unique items that bring to life the period from which Columbus burst
forth.
Dan and Rose Amato began the collection in 1981 for the purpose of
creating a 500 year anniversary ceremonial display in 1992. The collection
has continued to grow and includes pre-Columbian and post-Columbian
items.
The Museum includes a library, prints, silks, glassware, paper, cloth,
statues, tapestries, pottery, wood, lithographs, and metals. With over
2,000 items, the displays instill an understanding of the forces that
invigorated Christopher Columbus to take on his voyages of discovery.
This should be awesome time.
