CMM serves national audience
Over the last 40 years, the Calvert Marine Museum has grown from a modest community-based operation created to preserve and celebrate Solomon’s history to a premier educational facility serving a regional and national audience. Since the museum’s founding in 1970, nearly two million visitors have passed through the doors, and in the next 10 years, the museum staff anticipates one million more. The renovations are possible thanks to With the financial support from the state, Calvert County Government, the museum’s Board of Governors, and countless donors.
The main focus of the renovation is on the lobby and auditorium. The auditorium will be transformed into a dynamic program and event space that will provide much needed flexibility. New retractable walls allow the multipurpose space to be opened into the lobby area for special events, educational activities, changing exhibits, and more. The lobby will be redefined to be more visitor friendly by relocating the admission desk to face the new entrance, adding an orientation space behind the admission desk, and expanding the Museum Store.
The renovation is estimated to be completed in March 2014. Stay up to date on the renovation and our reopening date through the Calvert Marine Museum’s website and Facebook page.
