What a disappointment! Gone is the treasure! What should be about a treasure hunter's pay day has now been replaced with the a history lesson about the slave trade and a few treasure trinkets from the sunken ship. Shame on you Mel Fisher Museum! I remember the experience and the artifacts on display being so much more! What happened to all the treasure?? It's simple....stick to the story and show people what they paid money to see!

This was a fine tour for our family in Key West. Price of admission includes self guided tour of the exhibits. The exhibits themselves are nicely done. Appropriately and easily relates history of Key West, shipwrecks, and Mel's adventure/business in recovering the wrecks. Our family was glad we selected this museum to tour.

The gold exhibit, whiich was the best part of the museum, is no longer on display
Some silver is still on display
The museum is now mostly a slave ship museum
The administrator said someone stole one of the gold bars, so the gold exhib, which was the great reason to go the museum, had been removed
All jewelry items for sale are now imitations, not the real gold/silver couns
The museum is a pale imitation of what it once was
It should not be recommended at all
