Annapolis Museum Closes To Construct New Exhibits

ANNAPOLIS, MD— Starting Dec. 30, the Annapolis Maritime Museum will be closed in order to start building three new permanent exhibits that will open in the spring of 2020. The museum was last renovated in 2008, five years after it was severely damaged by Hurricane Isabel. The new exhibits planned for the museum will offer a high-tech experience in a high-touch gallery focusing on Bay health, the oyster economy and Annapolis waters.

“Our 2,500 square foot space will be transformed from a static, sleepy exhibit into a dynamic, interactive space that feels alive. I think this exhibit will accomplish the balance between offering a truly exceptional experience for our visitors while retaining our sense of authenticity. These exhibits will reflect AMM’s desire to be on the leading-edge of the industry while we continue to grow and engage with our community.” said Caitlin Swaim, museum curator at AMM, in a statement.

Events such as the Winter Lecture Series and the Oyster Roast & Sock Burning will continue as planned. The AMM’s Park Campus, known as Ellen O. Moyer Nature Park, will remain open during the construction phase.
