Views to the Harbor

Exhibition Dates: September 26th, 2011 - June 2012

The Museum’s Davis Observation Deck provides one of the best views in New Bedford – a view in which the city’s current and historic maritime heritage plays out before you, a living portrait of the city’s economic engine.  What better place, then, to explore historic views of the harbor and its activities?  The exhibit included well-knowns such as William Allen Wall, Charles Henry Gifford, and Clifford Ashley as well as some less familiar artist such as Francisco Rapoza, and Theodosia Potter Chase.
