Join us on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM for an opening reception for our newest exhibition, Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea. The exhibition will be on view through June 2023 and features the collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

A small preview exhibition is already on view.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of mid-century modern design. She also carried Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America. On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with her when she was en route to New York. What followed was one of the most dramatic and well-documented rescues in sea history.
