The Preview Center for the new home of the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum will open to the public on Dec. 22nd in the Balboa Fun Zone. The hours will be Fri-Sun, 11 am - 6 pm. The multi-media Preview Center features "highlights from [their] permanent collection, interactive exhibits, and architectural renderings" of the forthcoming museum.
Yes, but will the new museum have skee-ball, hot dogs and a "Scary Dark Ride?"
Update, 12/21/2022: While the NHNM Preview Center was pretty impressive, it seems not to have lead to anything. No museum materialized. Then the organization changed its name and mission sometime in the 2010s, becoming a self-proclaimed literacy program called ExplorOcean. Even that notion seems to have fizzled out entirely.
