Our flagship museum is the Pensacola Museum of History, which is housed in the three-story Mediterranean Revival architecture of the former Pensacola City Hall and was built in 1907. The Pensacola Museum of History, a highlight of the self-guided tour, is a general history museum with galleries dedicated to both permanent and changing exhibits. The first floor houses the Museum Store and ticket desk.

The City of Five Flags tells the unique story of Pensacola through artifacts, photographs and stories told through archaeology and preservation efforts. Renovated in 2012, the City of Five Flags exhibit includes streamlined timelines, engaging interactive, one-of-a-kind artifacts, and immersive environments all designed to help visitors experience life in Pensacola under five different flags.

For thousands of years, people have been discovering Pensacola. Warriors, conquistadors, presidents, heroes from all walks of life, and countless others have discovered that in trying to make their mark on Pensacola, Pensacola has made its mark on them.
