Ship in a Jar
Thu, May 2 | 6:30-8pm Have you ever wondered how exactly a ship gets into a bottle? Join us to uncork the secret behind this enduring folkcraft as we explore examples from the museum's Kappel Ship in a Bottle Collection up close. Then, sip a Dark & Stormy cocktail as you create your very own ship model in a jar. |
Send in the Clownfish
Thu, Jun 6 | 6:30-8pm Did you know there are more than 500 species of fish which change from male to female, or vice versa? This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the incredible biology of these extraordinary ocean creatures. Enjoy a rainbow cocktail as you discover why all clownfish are born male and how tropical hamlets manage to be both male and female at the same time. Then try your hand at quilling, a trendy paper craft with ancient roots, to create a 3D quilled ocean scene. |
