Neptune’s Grotto

Whaling Museum

Neptune’s Grotto is an evocative assembly of curiosities from the sea that brings together items collected by sailors, scientists, shopkeepers, and tourists. Intentionally eclectic, it aims to capture a bit of the spirit of a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century cabinet of curiosities, the forerunner of the modern museum, where the specimens have no labels and their arrangement invites you to invent stories of your own.
