Welcome to Historically St Pete with Rui Farias, executive director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History. Rui's podcast explores the truths, possibly the myths of the people and events that created the Sunshine City. The Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 102 years and we are happy to share those stories with you here on Radio St. Pete.  St. Petersburg has a national, even a world-wide reputation of being a hot bed for the arts. Galleries, museums, art schools, murals, you name it, we have it.  But this isn’t anything new, we have been an arts haven for over 100 years. Yet nobody has bothered to archive this history, until now. Thanks to a grant from the City of St. Petersburg, the Museum of History is now embracing that mission. But the museum couldn’t do this without the help and hard work of today's guest, Ashley Burke. A St. Pete native and artist, who has worked in the arts throughout the Tampa Bay area, Ashley is the owner of Burke & Company Fine Art Consultants.  https://www.burkecofac.com/ Tune-in weekly to Radio St. Pete.com for Farias' fascinating podcast and stop by the St. Petersburg Museum of History on your next visit to the St. Pete Pier and explore the rich and unique history of the Sunshine City.  From exhibits to historic trolley and boat tours, happy hour with historian lectures and a new restaurant this fall, visit https://spmoh.com/ EVENTS https://spmoh.com/events/ RUI FARIAS PODCASTS https://audioboom.com/search/posts?q=%23ruifarias #history  #ruifarias  #stpetersburgmuseumofhistory #HISTORYicallystpete #sunshinecity #floridahistory #stpetersburghistory  #tampabay #radio #stpete #radiostpete  #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #downtownstpete  #ashleyburke #artsarchives #Burke& CompanyFineArtConsultants
