Venice Museum & Archives Online Collection
The Venice Museum & Archives shares the unique story of its community by collecting, preserving and interpreting its historical collections and City of Venice archives. The geographic area represented in the collections includes Venice, Laurel, Nokomis, and Osprey in south Sarasota County, Florida. The 30,000+ items span a time period of approximately 1867 to the present; however, Venice Florida’s rich prehistory is represented in a paleontological collection dating from approximately 20 million years ago to 10,000 years ago, during the last ice age.
