Jointly owned by the Florida State University Foundation and the Central Florida Community College Foundation. The Appleton Museum is a fine arts museum housing permanent collections of European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts; pre-Columbian, African, and Asian art; Islamic ceramics; and Antiquities. Beginning with classical antiquities from Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia, the permanent collections lead the viewer on an historical and geographic survey of art history. The Asian galleries display objects from China, India, Japan, and Tibet. The pre-Columbian galleries show an extensive collection of South and Meso-American grave goods from cultures now extinct for almost 500 years. The African galleries highlight the traditional cultures of sub-Saharan Africa. The European collection, housed on the second floor of the museum, extends from Medieval manuscript pages through contemporary art, with large selections of Romantic, Social Realist, and Barbizon art.

I am one of thousands of people who have been fortunate to discover the travel destinations in recent years. More are being added to that number every month. Ramblers, long distance walkers, runners, cyclists, boaters, canoeists, bird watchers, fishermen and many others can now be found every day of the week enjoying their travel destinations and deriving immense value from the modest amount of public money that contributes to their upkeep. As those numbers grow so too do the resources available for the travel destinations, allowing better towpaths, more moorings, travel destination-side cafes and much more to develop. This excellent guideblog builds on and updates previous editions to reflect that rapidly changing picture. It will be invaluable to travel destination users, and a delight to those who prefer to enjoy them from afar. This blog is written for the entertainment and practical benefit of walkers, cyclists and boaters on the Union Destination (UC) and the Forth & Clyde Destination (F&CC). Visitors, from those walking the full length of the travel destinations to those spending just a day in a specially interesting area will benefit from its information, its knowledgeable descriptions and good stories. The travel destinations can be enjoyed at any season. In winter, with the trees leafless, the views are more extensive (perhaps to snowy mountains), and offering an alternative when weather rules out hillgoing – and there is less traffic on towpath or waterway.
