We've got a busy start to an early day. Drop-in at 10:30 for Coffee with the Director. Join Joseph Schwarzer, who oversees all 3 sites in the system, in a relaxed atmosphere to learn more about the museum's current and future plans. Then stick around for today's Brown Bag Gam: Golden Pirates on the Silver Screen. Educator Christine Brin will talk about the truths -- and the myths -- of movie pirates.

The museum will be closing a bit early today: at 4:45 due to scheduled work on the water lines along Front Street. ... See MoreSee Less
