Newport Murder Mystery

Get caught up in the action and step back in time to the Gilded Age in Newport.  The Newport Art Museum invites you to the "Murder They Wrote" interactive Murder Mysteries set in the year 1894.  Guests are invited to a gala for the literary union S.L.A.P., the Society of Professional Authors & Publishers.  This house of mirth quickly becomes a bleak house of death and you'll search the galleries for clues and question suspects.  Unlock your inner Sherlock Holmes to read between the lines and solve the mystery.

Weekly Performances:  The Newport Art Museum is an 1864 Arts and Crafts style mansion built by Richard Morris Hunt.  Filled with beautiful artwork, The Griswold House is the perfect setting for "Murder They Wrote."  An engaging evening complete with an array of Newport society blue bloods, an induction ceremony, musical entertainment and "friendly competition," this 90-minute show is family-friendly and proves that no matter what the year, people are the same!
