At 11:15 a.m., join our staff at the historic Thomas Thomas Oyster House to learn about the fascinating history of oyster fisheries and farming in New England.
At 1:00 p.m., Director of Exhibits Elysa Engelman will give a gallery tour of Mary Mattingly’s Open Ocean in the Schaefer Building. Through artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collection, Mattingly, a leading contemporary artist from Brooklyn, New York, developed an exhibition that tells stories of time and space, invention and commerce, and climate change and depleted resources.
Weather permitting, “Spouter,” the Museum’s life-sized inflatable sperm whale will also be on display! Come celebrate the beauty, the wealth, and the promise of the ocean.
Activities are included with general admission and free to members.
