| Special
Exhibit Opening in mid-September 2008 |
“Poor
Boy to Rockefeller: Long Island Oysters & Oystermen”
(more)
This exhibit explores the significant
role the humble oyster has played in the
lives of Long Islanders over the centuries.
The exhibit brings together historic objects and images
as it explores the biology, sociology, economics, geography
and history of this remarkable natural resource and the
industry it spawned. Included in the presentation are
the boats and tools of the oystermen and processors; the
pushcarts and gaily decorated barges of the vendors; the
elegant oyster forks and plates of the high-end restaurants
and Gold Coast mansions, and a glimpse at what oystering
meant to Long Islanders a century ago. Finally, the exhibit
explores the plight of the oyster today: struggling to
make a comeback, and even doing its part to clean our
waters all by itself.
