Synopsis

The Terrible Captain Jack Visits the Museum, or A Guide to Museum Manners for Incorrigible Pirates and the Like, is the museum's first major children's book. As the title suggests, it is a whimsical yet straightforward manual for children on how to behave when visiting a museum. Written and illustrated by the museum's first director of education, Diane Matyas, young readers join Captain Jack on his first visit to a museum, where he is advised by the ship's monkey Steve to "keep his bloomin' fingers off the paintings and the walls" and reminded that "museum voices are quiet ones, but ask lots of questions."
