Jaws at 50: A Deeper Dive‘ Exhibition Opening Reception

Join us on Friday, May 23rd for a special evening celebrating the launch of our summer-long exhibition, Jaws at 50: A Deeper Dive. The reception will feature food and drink tickets, a live 1970s vinyl set by DJ Vince Patricola, and exclusive perks for members—including early access and a members only tour, led by our curators from 4:00 to 5:00 PM for the first 50 members to register.

General admission begins at 5:30 PM, with opening remarks from Wendy Benchley at 6:00 PM.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum presents the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the film’s production on Martha’s Vineyard. Through rare photographs, oral histories, original artwork, and movie props, this immersive exhibition explores how the Island was transformed into the fictional Amity Island—and how Spielberg’s blockbuster left a lasting impact on the Vineyard.

Jaws at 50: A Deeper Dive takes over the entire second floor of the Museum and beyond. Be among the first to experience this landmark exhibition. 

Tickets: $25 each
