Museums

In West Volusia, time travel is real and it starts at the front door. Throughout May, West Volusia Tourism is challenging visitors and locals alike to step outside the everyday and discover the stories that make this region so special. During Museum Month, the Museum Month Bingo Passport is a fun way to explore 14 of our cultural and historical institutions.

From the world-class gallery at the Museum of Art – DeLand to the historic grounds of DeBary Hall, the Enterprise Museum, and the sparkling treasures of the Gillespie Museum, our local partners are opening their doors for you to explore, engage, and "get a bingo."

Download the Passport

  • Passports are available for free at any of the 14 participating museums or the West Volusia Visitor Center starting May 1.

  • Visit participating locations to have your passport marked. A "Bingo" is a completed straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) on your card.

  • Yes! Once you complete a bingo line, you can return your passport by June 5 to the West Volusia Visitor Center or the Museum Store at the Museum of Art – DeLand to receive a limited edition sticker sheet featuring hand-drawn illustrations of all 14 museums.

  • While we encourage you to see them all, you only need to complete one line on your bingo card to earn the prize.

  • Many participating museums offer free or reduced admission in May, but some locations may still require a standard entrance fee. We recommend checking our official Museum Month map or the individual museum’s website for specific details.

  • To receive a mark on your passport, you must visit during the museum’s official operating hours. We suggest staying a couple of days to make sure you have plenty of time to see everything.

  • Some museums are open daily, while others have limited weekend or weekday hours. Please refer to the list of hours on the back of your passport or our digital guide before planning your route.

  • Most participating institutions are accessible. We recommend calling in advance if you have specific accessibility concerns.

ARTS, CULTURE AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

When rock singer John Mellencamp wanted to display his paintings in Central Florida, he skipped Orlando and brought his work to the Museum of Art-DeLand. He realized what we’ve always known: the best stories are found a little out there.

West Volusia County is home to more than 14 museums and cultural institutions. Discover treasures like the African American Museum of the Arts, the Enterprise Museum, and Stetson University’s Gillespie Museum—home to one of the largest private collections of minerals and gems in the Southeast. Whether you’re exploring the rotating collections at the Museum of Art - DeLand or familiarizing yourself with Florida’s wild past through the Legendary Florida exhibit in the Historic Volusia County Courthouse, you’ll find that the heart of Florida’s heritage is just a little out there.
