Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

If you were to take a walk through the crowded Jewish neighborhoods of New York, Warsaw, Buenos Aires, and other centers of Yiddish life in the early twentieth century, you would have come across streetscapes full of posters. Theatrical extravaganzas, political discussions, public health talks, literary celebrations—all were publicized in elaborate and striking displays of graphic art. These posters, now on view at the Yiddish Book Center, tell the story of the yidishe gas—the slogans, sounds, and laughter of the Jewish street.

The Art of 20th Century Yiddish Poster Design: Theater/Politics/Lectures is on view at the Yiddish Book Center through September 2025. The Yiddish Book Center is open Sunday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Plan your visit: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/events-and-store/plan-your-visit-hours-and-directions
