AHA! Night: NB Cultures | Tied in Tradition
For September’s NB Cultures AHA! Night, the New Bedford Whaling Museum presents the opening of the International Guild of Knot Tyers Exposition, a three-day gathering that begins Thursday and extends into the evening.
This special program celebrates New Bedford’s deep maritime traditions while spotlighting the artistry of knot-tying practices from around the world. Guests will see demonstrations by international knot-tying experts alongside displays from local exhibitors, drawing connections between global craftsmanship and our own rich seafaring heritage.
Harbor View Gallery – All knot-tying activities will take place here. In addition, select galleries of the Museum will be open free of charge for visitors during AHA! Night.
Museum Store – Be sure to stop by the Museum Store, where you’ll find knot-tying books, ropework items, and more inspired by maritime craft traditions.
