HYANNIS – There were turtles and whales, pirates and painters, crabs and clamshells, steampunksters, sailors, colonial ladies, boatbuilders and more.
It was the second annual Festival of Museums at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center yesterday and 25 local Cape Cod museums located in towns from Bourne to Provincetown were putting their best face forward, hoping to entice visitors to come to their locations this season.
Here’s a sampling of who was there.
