Our 6th annual Viva Museum! celebration was a blast on September 15. It’s held here at the Florida Museum in coordination with the Gainesville Latino Film Festival to celebrate South American culture with music, dance and artifacts.

We had over 1,200 guests visit for this bilingual, Latino cultural event! Special guests included the musical group Perú Dance performing traditional music and dance, bilingual representatives from the Lubee Bat Conservancy and the Montbrook Fossil Dig, and food from Old San Juan Gastronomia.
