Dive in to explore an incredible world beneath the waves
Opens June 5
Voyage to the Deep: Underwater Adventures brings to life the mythical world of Captain Nemo and the real wonders of ocean exploration. Based on Jules Verne's classic novel, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, this interactive exhibition takes you on an exciting deep-sea adventure—perfect for families and kids ages 2-10.
Climb aboard Captain Nemo’s fantastical Nautilus submarine to discover the inner workings of an underwater vessel. Take up the controls at the helm, peer through the periscopes, crank the propeller and explore Captain Nemo’s Cabinet of Curiosities full of amazing marine specimens.
Venture through the Octopus Garden, search for sea creatures in the Kelp Forest and explore the lost world of Atlantis. The Voyage to the Deep exhibition was created and developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum, an Australian Government entity. The exhibition tour is managed by Flying Fish Exhibits.
