Macy's Flower Show

May13

What began in 1946 at Macy's in San Francisco to promote a fragrance has become a major annual two-week event in five Macy’s locations. The Macy's Flower Show welcomes spring with beautiful flowers, trees and plants and is a delight to experience and a work of art. Each year the show has a different theme. Join Sheila Taub as she discusses the shows.

Beyond the Book: Jaws

May16

Just in time for Memorial Day, join us to confront one of literature's most iconic villains. We’ll follow Brody and Quint as they pursue the monstrous shark through the waters off Long Island (yes, Long Island!) and explore the curious parallels between their expedition and that of Melville’s Captain Ahab. Explore shark bones and fossils from our collections and learn about the many shark species that call Long Island home - and how unlikely it is that you’ll ever receive a bite.
