What's Happening

THE WIDER WORLD AND SCRIMSHAW
Tuesday, March 28 | 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Join us for a day-long symposium, where renowned and emerging scholars explore the global carving traditions from across the Pacific Rim that were influenced by, sat in conversation with, and had an influence on “Yankee” whaling scrimshaw. The day celebrates international maritime material culture, explores a dynamic global narrative, and dives deep into the Whaling Museum’s Indigenous collections from Oceania, the Pacific Northwest, and Global Arctic.
