My family has been to visit the museum before and it is great with all the history of the keys, the part we love the most is Robert the doll which is why we returned, My daughter asked to go see Robert for her 7th birthday and for the second time we got a great picture of Robert. Thank you!! More

This museum is creepy! There is definitely a weight to the air in this old fort. As far as artifacts are concerned, there is much to be desired. A few civil war era items here and there, but largely, this is a museum for Robert the Doll and the metal art (the creepy and gross story of Elena's body is... More

Research Robert the Doll and then go visit him here! Do not take his picture however....one of our party did take his picture and has had lots of bad luck since. The curse appears to be real. Her camera flash went off by accident..... More

My hubby and I didn't know what to expect but the building looked cool so we stopped in. We paid $5 each (a dollar discount) and was very happy with the unique art work, histories of the Keys and the fort itself. The haunted doll, Robert, and the story about the love crazed man added another dimension to Key West... More

The relics of this fort were interesting to explore and worth a trip. There is an art exhibit on a lower level that was well done. The citadel had an art exhibit on the upper floor that consisted of weird, rusted metal figures. The two "highlights" of this museum were Robert and Elena. Robert is a 100 year old doll... More
