Drop-in Sketching: Under the Sea

Have you ever wished you could use the museum’s collections for sketching inspiration? Now’s your chance! We'll be showcasing rarely seen museum objects to create a still-life setup for you to practice your drawing skills.

This month, we’re diving deep into our collections to bring an amazing array of ocean creatures, from sea turtles and puffer fish to fossilized ammolites!

While you’re here, get some extra inspiration by visiting our new feature exhibition Orcas: Our Shared Future

This free-with-admission activity will be back on the third Thursday of September. Keep an eye on our website and watch for our monthly newsletter for more info.

Tip: If you plan to attend more than one drop-in sketching session, buy a Mammoth Pass to save big! For only $35 for an adult, you get a year’s worth of admission (including all the 2025 Drop-In Sketching sessions) and great discounts at the Museum Shop and Café.
