Key West Museum of Art & History at the Custom House

The Key West Museum of Art & History at the Custom House is where high drama meets high seas. This gorgeous red-brick landmark houses everything from the island’s role in the Spanish-American War to the tender, tormented artwork of queer icon Tennessee Williams. Yes, the man who queered Broadway also painted moody portraits on his patio—and you can see them here. Come for the history, stay for the gossip, and leave with a renewed appreciation for Key West’s flair for the theatrical.
