Hello everyone! We are looking for volunteers for our annual "GalleryCrawl" (additional artifacts will be on display). Did you know only 2% of The Mariners’ Museum’s in Newport News, Virginia collections are on display? For one night only, you can get up close and personal with multiple artifacts that have rarely, or possibly never, been on public display! Experience the stories behind these incredible artifacts with interactive interpreters, conversations with curators and conservationists, and talks with collections experts.
Saturday, September 22nd from 5:00-10:00.
We need people to help in each of the galleries with historical information and directions, bartenders, food service assistance (there will be food and drink in each of the galleries tied to the theme of the gallery), ticket takers, passport distributors, and other areas too. This is a wonderful opportunity for groups, please let me know if you are available to help. Peo ple assisting with food and bar will need to be in black pants or skirt, with a white shirt. "Call time" for volunteers is between 5:00 and 5:30 PM depending on your volunteer assignment, the event starts at 6:30. As volunteers, you will receive food tastings and a free commemorative glass. http://www.marinersmuseum.org/event/the-gallery-crawl/More opportunities with The Mariners' Museum and Park

Today, The Mariners’ Museum sits in an urban oasis - the 550 acre park is now home to the 167-acre Lake Maury and the Noland Trail - a five-mile shoreline trail with fourteen bridges. Within the Museum itself you will find 90,000 square feet of exhibition galleries including the prestigious International Small Craft Center, and the award-winning USS Monitor Center. This state-of-the-art exhibition and conservation lab houses 210 tons of artifacts from the Civil War ironclad Monitor, which were recovered from NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary.
The Mariners’ Museum Library and Archives is now housed in the Trible Library on the campus of Christopher Newport University, which is adjacent to The Mariners’ Museum Park. The Library is home to over 78,000 books; 800,000 photographs, films, and negatives; and over 1 million pieces of archival material, making it the largest maritime library in the Western Hemisphere.
