Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum and 'still mad about tea' jokes

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum offers interactive reenactments and exhibits about the December 16, 1773 protest and is located on Congress Street. The city's historical association with the Tea Party and taxation without representation is often invoked in puns and lighthearted jokes in local advertising, commentary, and anniversary events. The museum's reenactments and public programming reinforce the event's place in Boston humor and civic identity.
