On Friday, June 10th, 2022 from 2-pm on Zoom and streamed to the Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program exploring the hidden collection of the Mystic Seaport Museum.
Join us on an adventure behind locked doors into the “vault” that stores the Mystic Seaport Museum collections. Within the collection are many unusual and surprising artifacts. We will have a chance to see everything from unusual animal parts and strange furniture, to a curious secret ingredient used in some perfumes.
