Beyond the Book: Jaws

May16

Just in time for Memorial Day, join us to confront one of literature's most iconic villains. We’ll follow Brody and Quint as they pursue the monstrous shark through the waters off Long Island (yes, Long Island!) and explore the curious parallels between their expedition and that of Melville’s Captain Ahab. Explore shark bones and fossils from our collections and learn about the many shark species that call Long Island home - and how unlikely it is that you’ll ever receive a bite.
