The Addison Mizner exhibit shows how the architect’s plans helped put the tiny town of Boca Raton on the map in the 1920s.
The museum is not only responsible for its role in the preservation of local artifacts, it also hosts various temporary traveling exhibits throughout the year. For visitors with a keen eye, be on the lookout for Johnny Mizner's picture among the exhibits throughout the Museum. (Scroll down to see who “Johnny” really was.)
