Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Friday through Sunday, Tuesday through Thursday) Sometimes looking at ships or standing on ships isn’t enough; you have to hold one in your hand. For those nautical souls who love model ships and want to see how they are put together, including those encapsulated in bottles, the exhibition “Ship-Shape: Nautical Scale Models” is for you. Among the models on display is one of the U.S.S. Constitution, the oldest commissioned vessel still afloat. (It was launched in 1797.) Also on view is “Women in Aviation: World War II,” a special exhibition in honor of women who have served the nation. Both displays are on view through July 8.
