Cultural Amenities
 
The cultural institutions of downtown West Palm Beach have helped to identify the community. More than $300 million dollars have been invested, pledged and planned for the many cultural organizations of Palm Beach county, including the Kravis Center, the Florida Science Museum and many more. These investments have also helped renovate the 1916 county courthouse to become Palm Beach County’s first major history museum in the spring of 2008.
