THE ART OF THE OPERATOR
OPENING JULY 18, 2026
A Naval Special Operator Exhibition at Navy SEAL Museum
About the Exhibit
The Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida is honored to offer an exclusive show highlighting the work of Naval Special Operators. Don’t miss our special summer exhibition. The Art of The Operator opens to the public on July 18, celebrating the creative expression of America’s elite operators.
This special exhibition spans every era of Naval Special Warfare history and culture, including operational deployments around the world. Much of the work documents historical events, but also the humor, hardship, camaraderie, and personality of the SEAL Teams.
The Art of The Operator exhibition is intended to help preserve NSW culture and share the stories of these men through first person perspective for future generations of operators, historians, and museum visitors. The collection includes original vintage and contemporary works of charcoal, photography, ink, watercolor, oil, sculpture, metal, graphic art, and more.
These works from very talented men across the community are visual records of operator life, documenting SEAL history, preserving the heritage, traditions, sacrifice, and operational spirit of the Teams for future generations.
Exhibition Dates: July 18 – September 30, 2026
