Join us on September 12th, 2-5 PM, when we open two new exhibits, Dressed to Finesse and Honoring Rosa’s Southern Dining.  A unified celebration of feminine artistry and cultural legacy, honoring Rosa’s Southern Dining as a Northside cornerstone while Dress to Finesse illuminates the fluid beauty of movement, color, and style as expressions of feminine strength.

Dressed to Finesse presents expressive watercolor works by New Jersey artist Annemarie Mikelonis, capturing dresses as fluid, graceful extensions of identity. The collection highlights watercolor’s soft, transparent movement to reveal both vulnerability and strength in feminine expression. Celebrating creativity and individuality, the exhibit invites viewers to explore the bold, delicate, and ever-evolving nature of femininity through color, shape, and texture.

The museum also proudly presents the Atlantic City Northside Restaurant Exhibit, a historical exploration of 649 N. New York Avenue (New York Grocery and Deli), a location that once housed restaurants and a nightclub. Most notably, it was home to Rosa’s Southern Dining, a cherished restaurant that became a cultural anchor for Atlantic City’s community.

This exhibit honors Rosa Mikelonis, now 94, celebrating her remarkable life, her contributions to Atlantic City’s history, and the legacy of her restaurant, a gathering place known for good food, music, fellowship, and even visits from celebrities like Muhammad Ali.

All are welcome to attend. Admission to the museum is free, and donations are appreciated. Refreshmentswill be served.
