Voyage to the Deep – Underwater Adventures
A new immersive exhibition opens June 8, 2024, in the Collins Gallery at Mystic Seaport Museum. The Australian National Maritime Museum and Flying Fish present Voyage to the Deep – Underwater Adventures, an interactive exhibition that blends exploration and adventure in an imaginative setting—the kind immortalized by Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and celebrated in popular culture from Jacques Cousteau to the Octonauts.
At the heart of this exhibition lies the fantastical submarine Nautilus inviting visitors to climb aboard to discover the inner workings of a deep-sea vessel. Curious, adventure-loving kids of all ages can take the helm, peer through periscopes, crank the propeller, test out the bunks, and delve into Captain Nemo’s Cabinet of Curiosities, filled with incredible marine specimens. The highly interactive experience offers insights into marine habitats, diving equipment, and maritime archaeology, providing immersive experiences for children and engaging content for adults.
“At Flying Fish, we strive to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation, and this partnership with the Australian National Maritime Museum allows us to do just that. Through imaginative technology and masterful storytelling, this exhibition creates a multi-sensory experience that transports visitors into a world where exploration and wonder merge seamlessly,” said Jay Brown, Principal and Managing Director of Flying Fish.
“Jules Verne’s novel was a work of imagination, encouraging wonder at the unknown world beneath our seas. There’s still so much we need to learn about the underwater world, and Voyage to the Deep will inspire the next generation of undersea explorers. Dive in!” said Dr. Peter Hobbins, Head of Content at the Australian National Maritime Museum.
Voyage to the Deep – Underwater Adventures includes a wide range of activities, from full-body experiences like slides and climbing structures to simple tabletop games. It’s an unforgettable journey that combines science education, exploration, and entertainment for families, students, and adventure seekers alike.
“We are thrilled to offer this unique opportunity for everyone seeking adventure this summer. Voyage to the Deep – Underwater Adventures will allow visitors to experience the magic of Captain Nemo’s world in this celebration of Jules Verne’s literary masterpiece.” said Margaret Milnes, Vice President of Visitor Journey. “We invite visitors to dive into the wonders of the deep sea to find their sea story at the Museum!”
