Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum, Maritime archaeology museum in Sebastian, Florida.
The museum displays recovered artifacts from shipwrecks along Florida's coast, including gold bars, coins, and maritime equipment from Spanish vessels.
Mel Fisher established this institution in December 1992 after discovering the Nuestra Señora de Atocha shipwreck, which contained substantial Spanish colonial treasures.
The exhibits present information about maritime trade routes, Spanish colonial expansion, and the development of Florida's eastern coastline as a major shipping corridor.
The museum operates daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, with laboratory tours available Monday through Friday at 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM.
Visitors can lift an authentic gold bar recovered from the Atocha shipwreck, experiencing the physical connection to maritime history.
