Limited Engagement October 15, 2021 - January 9, 2022
Jump aboard our submarine!
This fall/winter at Milwaukee Public Museum, experience Voyage to the Deep — a new traveling exhibition about underwater exploration and adventure of the kind immortalized by Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Undersea stories of Captain Nemo and his Nautilus submarine still captivate audiences today. Voyage to the Deep focuses on delivering engaging exhibit experiences to present both the fantasy of the novel and the facts of today, allowing visitors to explore Verne’s imaginary world and the real-life wonders of the oceans.
