Obscured by Time: The Magic of Florida, featuring the art of Hermann Trappman

Obscured by Time: The Magic of Florida, featuring the art of Hermann Trappman, detailed the natural history of Florida through Trappman’s compelling paintings, artifact replicas, fossils, and examples of the resources utilized by ancient Native Americans.

This exhibit offered a glimpse of early Florida, its native peoples and geography prior to European contact in the 1500s. A self-taught artist, Trappman’s work explores the life of Florida’s early peoples and is based on artifacts, fossils and other archaeological evidence found along the shores of Florida.
