The mission of the museum is to collect, preserve, and communicate the history and heritage of Florida with an emphasis on St. Petersburg and the Pinellas peninsula. The museum hosts a variety of traveling exhibits, evening events, guest speakers, and more. The St. Petersburg Museum of History has a significant archive that includes over 5,000 indexed city photographs, 32,000 artifacts, and other historic photos and documents. Notable holdings include a plus-sized pair of pajamas owned by William Howard Taft; a full-sized replica of the Benoist XIV aircraft; reading glasses owned by George Armstrong Custer; and the largest collection of signed baseballs in the world (called "Little Cooperstown"). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum was closed from March 2020 through July 8, 2020. The pandemic also derailed plans for actor Tom Hanks to sign the 5,000th baseball in the museum's collection. The museum is set to expand; artist Ya La’ford, is creating an aluminum sculpture called Intersections to wrap around the new building expansion. (en)
