The Noble Maritime Collection
The Noble Maritime Collection is a museum and study center located on the North Shore of Staten Island. The museum is housed in a 21,000 sq.-ft. fully accessible historic building within the Sailors’ Snug Harbor Cultural Center. The museum has much to offer in terms of differing spaces for the students to explore; from the immersive boathouse to art studio workspaces to the interactive classrooms there is something for all ages.
The organization offers a diverse collection of school programs for grades 2-12 with a focused blend of art and history related to New York City’s working waterfront.
For any questions related to education programs and school trips to the museum, you can book an appointment to speak with a member of the Noble's staff here.
