About the event
When the lights dim... The art comes to life!
For one evening, the Channel Islands Maritime Museum transforms into a living gallery where maritime art, history and theatrical storytelling converge. During this open-house-style cocktail-hour experience, explore the galleries as characters inspired by the Museum’s collection emerge to engage, reflect and reveal the human stories behind the art and ship models.
This is not a performance you sit and watch! It’s a one-of-a-kind experience you move through. Sip a drink, enjoy tasty hors d’oeuvres, wander the Museum and encounter sailors, explorers, pirates, kings & queens who invite conversation and curiosity. This evening edition of Art Comes Alive offers a more intimate, atmospheric way to experience the Museum after hours. Guests should arrive before 8pm for the full experience.
Advance tickets recommended.
