LIVING SHARKS MUSEUM
“PRESERVING SHARK HISTORY & SHARK FUTURE”
Living Sharks Museum is America’s First Shark History Museum featuring artifacts from around the world that detail and preserve the story of the shark. Our collections are aimed to educate from an unbiased perspective featuring exhibits of shark history, science and conservation. Living Sharks Museum, curated by Keith Cowley, houses his personal collection as an educational resource and outreach initiative. Admission is always free.
A collab has been announced between Living Sharks Museum and Ryan Dacko, author of the Jaws prequel The Book of Quint! As a way to bring more attention to the project in the eve of the Jaws 50th Anniversary, keep a look out for new merch and more! Learn more: here
