Based on French author Jules Verne’s 1870 classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the exhibition features the deep-sea adventures of Captain Nemo, his fantastical Nautilus submarine and the mythical world he inhabited.
Kids can slip on a dive suit and venture through the world below the waves, including the octupus’ garden with its giant clam shell (made by Watusi!) and a giant squid to slide down, and then wander through the maze of seaweed in the kelp forest. They can also hunt for treasure in the wreck of a Spanish galleon or explore the lost world of Atlantis.
Congratulations Em and the Maritime Museum for sourcing many of the elements of the exhibition from local suppliers like Watusi.
