Lyman Allyn Art Museum announces two new exhibitions to celebrate the year of the Charles W. Morgan.  Greasy Luck: The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan and Milloff’s Melville: An Artist Renders the Whale open with a reception for the public on Saturday, September 21, 2013.

Greasy Luck: The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan

Greasy Luck is an academic year-long exhibition designed to support the K-12 public school curriculum standards while celebrating how whaling—its myths and reality, risk and reward—left its mark on Connecticut and American identity.  Gov.
