The National Seashore's small museum contains several natural, cultural, and archival collections. Unfortunately, almost all are in storage and unavailable for public viewing. To remedy the situation, as many artifacts and specimens as possible will be displayed here and in the park's virtual museum, so that the public can enjoy and study the collections.
