Two step

Two is not always better than one.

So goes the thinking behind the recent consolidation of the Imaginarium Science Center and the History Museum of Southwest Florida. Supporters of both entities say the merger of the two Fort Myers organizations will enhance operations and visitors' experience.

“This is a major opportunity to reassess what we need and don't need,” says Matt Johnson, executive director of the new entity who worked closely with both the Imaginarium and the History Museum in 16 years at Fort Myers City Hall.
