• Let your imagination run wild and create a felt sea “monster” with Alex Makes Art. Suggested ages 10 and up.
• Guided by visual artist Kat Owens, participate in the creation of a community art piece, and reflect on the impact of plastics on marine animals.
• Meet scientists from Harvard’s Bellono Lab to learn about the behavior and unique characteristics of octopuses. 
• Learn about unique, unusual—and even spooky—marine specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
• Embark on a scavenger hunt to find sea monsters in the museum!

Free and open to the public.
