This summer, embark on an immersive journey at the Barnes Museum with our exhibit, "Sails and Stories." Explore our extraordinary collection of model ships, each piece carefully selected to represent a variety of vessels pivotal to maritime commerce and exploration through the ages.
Delve into the detailed backgrounds of each model ship on display—learn about the skilled builders, visionary designers, and brave sailors who crafted and navigated these vessels, contributing to a rich maritime heritage. The exhibit does more than showcase; it tells stories, bringing to life the famous voyages, significant historical events, and daring maritime adventures these ships endured.
Join us at the Barnes Museum all summer long to navigate through history and heritage and leave with a deeper appreciation of the maritime world.
