It’s time for our annual Freezin’ For A Reason event, where we plunge into the icy waters of the Long Island Sound to support Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Program! We welcome you to join us on Saturday, March 8th at Esker Point Beach and The Fisherman restaurant for a fun-filled morning in support of an amazing cause. Those brave enough to take the plunge will dive in at 10 a.m., but the fun doesn’t stop there!

Where do artists find their inspiration? In ancient Greece, the Muses were supernatural beings who inspired artists, scholars, and writers to create their works. The upcoming exhibit, Sea as Muse, explores the ways that the sea provided a similar inspiration for decorative arts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Opening in September 2021, the exhibit showcases fine silver trophies and woodcarvings from the vast collections of Mystic Seaport Museum. Dolphins and mermaids, seaweed and sea urchins, fast ships and ocean waves—visitors will find many delightful details like these, inspired by sea life and life on the seas.
