About the Henry B. Plant Museum
The Henry B. Plant Museum is located near downtown, on The University of Tampa campus. The Museum interprets the turn-of-the-century Tampa Bay Hotel and the lifestyles of America’s Gilded Age. Critical to the success of this mission is the restoration and preservation of this National Historic Landmark, an opulent 1891 railroad resort, and the artifacts significant to its history, and the life and work of Henry Bradley Plant. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sundays from 12-5 p.m. (Closed on Mondays, Thanksgiving and Christmas.) Regular admission is $10/adult, $7/student and senior 65+ and students, and $5/child age 4-12.
