Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust Oliver Dixon
This fun, family-friendly exhibition tells the maritime archaeology stories of shipwrecks from around the world, using a unique combination of LEGO® models, hands-on interactives, AV experiences and objects.
It features stunning LEGO® models presenting the stories of eight shipwrecks, from the Bronze Age Mediterranean Uluburun to the container ship Rena wrecked off New Zealand in 2011. The exhibition includes technologies used to investigate shipwrecks, allowing visitors to experience different archaeological techniques. They can re-sink the Vasa, pilot an ROV beneath the ice to find the Erebus, see if they’d survive the Titanic, clean oil pollution from a penguin and, of course, build their own LEGO® models.
The exhibition was developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum in partnership with the Western Australian Museum and Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught.
