On Thursday for Halloween evening, stop by the introduction galleries at 12 Fulton Street and Bowne & Co. Stationers at 211 Water Street to show off your costume and get your treats!
From 11am to 5pm, the Museum will be open for you to enjoy Pay What You Wish General Admission and continue the Halloween fun with the October Sailors Scrimshaw activity, paper chain making, and card crafting. Feel free to bring your own pumpkin for more festive fun! All Museum spaces and Bowne & Co. will close at 5pm with trick-or-treating continuing outside at the entrance.
No registration is needed for trick-or-treating—just drop by in your best costume!
