Celebrating 35 years is a remarkable milestone for any institution—but for an aquarium, it represents decades of inspiring a sea of change. Join us in our celebration with entertainment and activities all weekend long. Included with general admission.
RSVP for a free virtual lunchtime talk with the museum’s curatorial team. Curatorial Assistant Emily Marturano will discuss the Joseph Hewes miniature, currently on view in Five Independent Souls: The Signers from New Jersey. This watercolor miniature by famed artist Charles Willson Peale is adorned in garnets and is the only known likeness of Hewes, a Signer of the Declaration and a founder of the American Navy. Commissioned as a gift, it helps shed light on personal connections, sentiments towards independence, and illness in the months leading up to July 1776. Pictured: Miniature of Joseph Hewes (1730–1779), 1776. Charles Willson Peale (1741–1827). Watercolor on ivory. Loan courtesy of the U.S. Naval Academy Museum.
