Exhibition Components
Voyage to the Deep is an interactive exhibition developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum and toured internationally by Flying Fish. Based on French author Jules Verne’s 1870 classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the exhibition brings to life the deepsea adventures of Captain Nemo, his fantastical Nautilus submarine and the mythical world he inhabited.At the center of this fantasy world is the giant Nautilus where kids can climb aboard and discover the innerworkings of a deep-sea submersible. They can take up the controls at the helm, peer through the periscopes, crank the propeller, test out the bunks and explore Captain Nemo’s Cabinet of Curiosities full of wonderful marine specimens. There’s even a bubbly pipe organ to play and a galley full of strange foods to discover!
Jurassic Oceans will take visitors on a journey beneath the waves to discover the fascinating and strange creatures that inhabited the world’s Jurassic seas at a time when dinosaurs ruled the land. Immersive state-of-the-art CGI experiences will bring visitors face-to-face with some of the most ferocious creatures ever to rule the seas. With more than nine million specimens, the Natural History Museum’s fossil collection is the largest and most comprehensive in the world. Jurassic Oceans will feature some of the rarest and most remarkable specimens, including complete, fully articulated fossil skeletons. Displayed together for the first time, they tell a compelling story of a prehistoric underwater environment radically different from our seas today. As visitors explore the seas of the Jurassic, they will discover how these giant marine creatures evolved from land-dwelling reptiles, with some species becoming bigger and fiercer than the dinosaurs roaming the land. Visitors will learn how these highly adapted hunters came to dominate their marine environment, becoming the top predators millions of years before sharks were.
The travelling exhibition includes 20 handmade models coming from a collection of over 150. Each model is constructed after extensive research and paying attention to every detail, even to the wood used during each historic period. The history of navigation in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas is a fascinating narrative of sea voyages, shipbuilding accomplishments, dissemination of ideas and technological development. This exhibition is a presentation of the history of shipbuilding and seafaring, from antiquity to modern times and is presented through 35 beautifully handmade and historically accurate ship models. The models were constructed by Mr. Dimitris Maras, M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and model shipbuilder who turned his hobby into a full-time passion. He has studied the naval architectural history of the Greek world, searching old records for details about both the designs and the methods of construction. His model vessels, all hand made in the wood used during each historical period, vary in size from 1 ½ ft. to 6 ft. and are exact replicas to the smallest detail. Mr. Maras’ attention to detail extends even to the parts of his ships that are hidden to the viewer. The size and exceptional quality of these models help the viewer to better understand the evolution of shipbuilding among the people of the Mediterranean, from antiquity to the mid-20th century, through an imaginary voyage in time.The exhibition, created in collaboration with Contemporanea Progetti, is a fascinating journey through the sea. The trade routes, the expansion of a great super power in the Mediterranean sea, the greatness of the Doges, the splendor of the most famous among the Maritime Republics. An exciting collection of original works of art, evocative videos and reconstructions through which a mix of historical reality, myth, legends and great characters will take us to a journey exploring the Venetian lagoon, its Arsenal and the fight for supremacy on the sea. Culture and power entwined to tell a story filled with twists and grandeur, with sea as the main character, exploring the legend of Venice, of its rulers and the challenges of the contemporary city as a destination of mass-tourism.
