Museum of Arts & Sciences

The Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS) will be welcoming speakers, musicians and affiliates of the Smithsonian Institution to Daytona Beach for its 3rd Annual Septembers with the Smithsonian series of events.

In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Florida, this significant collaboration between NASA, the Kennedy Space Center and MOAS includes over 40 works from the NASA Collection, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Annie Leibovitz.

MOAS has been chosen as the site for an expansion housing the collection of more than 2,600 Florida oil and watercolor paintings of Cici and Hyatt Brown. A $13 million gift for construction has been given to MOAS by Cici and Hyatt Brown.

This important exhibition sets the stage for the historic study and understanding of one hundred and sixty years of artistic creativity through the medium of watercolor within the state of Florida. Artists include Homer, Audubon, Wyeth and Moran.
