Upcoming Reciprocal

Mystic Seaport Museum

September 2026

In September, Connecticut River Museum members are invited to visit Mystic Seaport Museum for FREE and view the new exhibit, BRICKWRECKS: Sunken Ships in LEGO® Bricks. The exhibit brings stories of exploration, trade, tragedy, and discovery to life through an extraordinary blend of LEGO® models, real artifacts, and hands-on experiences. Mystic Seaport Museum is the first North American venue for this exhibition, developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum in partnership with the Western

Australian Maritime Museum and Ryan “The Brickman” McNaught—one of only 14 LEGO® Certified Professionals in the world. In this family-friendly exhibition, you will marvel at eleven stunning LEGO® models that explore eight remarkable shipwrecks spanning centuries of maritime history, from the Bronze Age trading vessel wrecked off Uluburun (Grand Cape) on the southwestern coast of Turkey to the modern container ship Rena. The exhibit includes cutaways and reconstructions of the Vasa, Titanic, and Franklin’s ill-fated Arctic expedition ships Terror and Erebus. Interactive stations invite you to capsize the Vasa, pilot an ROV (remote operated vehicle) beneath the ice, test whether you would have survived the Titanic disaster, clean oil from a penguin, and build your own LEGO® creations. Replica objects from the Batavia, archaeological tools, and multimedia displays connect LEGO® artistry with the real work of maritime archaeology.
