“SHARKABET: A SEA OF SHARKS FROM A to Z”
COMING TO CMM IN FEBRUARY

See SHARKABET, the newest exhibit on display in the Mezzanine Gallery at the Calvert Marine Museum. Beginning Saturday, February 4 all ages can enjoy these colorful and fun paintings of the world’s largest fish. The exhibit is based on the book “Sharkabet: A Sea of Sharks from A to Z” by Ray Troll and features the author’s whimsical fishy paintings of both living and extinct species of shark. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a different type of shark. The exhibit will be on display through December 2017.

“It’s an alphabetical look at the world of living and prehistoric sharks. For kids of all ages, although anyone with an interest in these toothy, denizens of the deep should find this an exciting exhibit,” said Ray Troll. The exhibit is on loan from The Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science in Miami, Florida.
