From Exploration to Exhibition, a half-hour film produced by the Florida Museum of Natural History, won a Regional Emmy Award from the Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. It was produced with Wild Tracks Productions as part of the museum's Expedition Florida project.

This exciting film takes viewers behind the scenes as teams of scientists, curators, and artists transform remarkable discoveries such as a 14-foot-tall mammoth skeleton, a 200-year-old albino crayfish, and ancient Calusa Indian masks and fishing tools into museum exhibits.

From Exploration to Exhibition is the first in a series of Expedition Florida programs and was shot at various sites beneath the Aucilla River; on location in Florida's largest underground cavern; and at a replicated Calusa Indian fish camp constructed for the film on a Southwest Florida mangrove beach.

Additional scenes introduce the viewer to Powell Hall, the museum's new exhibition and education center. At Powell Hall, exhibit designers and artists explore new and imaginative ways for visitors to interact with the museum's collection of artifacts and explore lifelike natural habitats.
