"Running through the first week of September, a Jaws exhibition here showcases actual and replica props—including the iconic yellow barrels, Quint's harpoon gun, a fan-built model of the Orca, and Ben Gardner's severed head—and pays tribute to Vineyard locals who contributed on- and off-screen; the museum also hosted a sold-out talk by A. Bowdoin Van Riper, who appeared as an 11-year-old extra and now works there as a historian and research librarian, underscoring the film’s lasting impact on island life." - Kristin Braswell
