1868 Warehouse A.A. Thomson & Co.
The restoration of A.A. Thomson & Co. is nearing completion! In 2019, after securing substantial funding, the Seaport Museum began a careful renovation of this historic warehouse. Working with the celebrated preservation architecture firm Beyer Blinder Belle, the Seaport Museum transformed the historic 12,000-square-foot warehouse into a large-scale exhibition space, a hub for engaging educational programming, and a gathering space for the community.

Haunting Highlights from the Seaport Museum’s Collections
To welcome October on an appropriately spooky note, the Seaport Museum’s Associate Registrar Carley Roche has chronicled some of the more haunting artifacts in the collections for your reading pleasure. Some of the objects included in the new Collections Chronicles blog post are a silver gelatin dry plate negative showing St. Paul’s Churchyard, mourning stationery, and thumb skulls. You can even learn about the Seaport Museum’s connection to the invention of iron coffins.
