The beautifully restored new facility will provide MOHAI with 50,000 square feet of exhibit space—go explore, participate in special programming, and see amazing live performances at the new MOHAI.

" The public Grand Opening officially kicks off on Saturday, December 29 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 am.

From 12 pm to 7 pm, hourly performances are scheduled from local acts such as poet Henry Luke, the Chief Sealth Marching Band and opera singer Sarah Fletcher.

Visitors will also have the chance to take part in various activities including Salish weaving demonstrations, print making, and a build-your-own periscope project sponsored by the Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society.

Food and beverages will be available at the museum’s new Compass Café by Northwest Catering and a number of food trucks including Dante’s Inferno Dogs and Street Treats.
 
MOHAI’s new neighbors at Lake Union Park are also joining the festivities. Argosy’s largest ship, The Royal, will dock at Lake Union Park Wharf and offer food, beverages, and entertainment to MOHAI visitors before and after their museum experience. Boat rides will be plentiful from organizations such as the Center for Wooden Boats, Waterway Cruises and the Virginia V. The Seattle Flying Dragons will also be staging dragon boat races in front of the park and Northwest Seaport will have the historic tug, Arthur Foss, open for tours.

To ensure that all visitors have a fun and worthwhile experience, MOHAI has set up a timed-ticketing reservation system for Grand Opening weekend. Tickets are free on Saturday and regularly priced on Sunday. Reserved tickets are recommended, but not required.
