Pirate Day

Ahoy, me hearties!


Throw on your best pirate outfit and head to the museum for pirate-themed adventures! Learn to talk like a pirate and walk the plank. Build your own pirate ship with one of our pre-packaged kits, available as a carry-out craft during each open session at the museum, while supplies last.

Following the guidance of the CDC and State of Maryland, all guests ages five and older must wear a mask during their visit. The museum continues to operate at a limited capacity with a timed entry system. Before visiting the museum, please make a reservation by clicking here.
