In the winter of 2011, South Florida entrepreneurs Arron Rimpley and Gregg Whittecar purchased the iconic building that once housed the Graves Museum of Archeology and Natural History. Their vision was to revive the dilapidated museum and create an art gallery and event space where people from all over the world would gather to celebrate each other, build relationships and create lasting memories together.
The venue reopened in the fall of 2012 as the Gallery of Amazing Things, a cultural center for the arts and a space for hosting a wide variety of events' social and corporate. Since reopening, thousands of guests have passed through its doors during events ranging from trade shows and fundraisers to mitzvahs and weddings. Many of those guests have fond memories of visiting the original Graves Museum as young children. Today, the Gallery of Amazing Things is THE place in South Florida where people of all ages gather to create new ones.
