Kids can drive a submarine at the DoSeum’s new exhibit ‘Voyage to the Deep’
Interactive exhibit runs through September

SAN ANTONIO – Submerge under the sea where life is better. The DoSeum invites families to take a plunge and visit their new interactive adventure “Voyage to the Deep”.
The exhibit was developed by the Australian Maritime Museum and is based off of the fictional book “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” written by the French author Jules Verne.
Kids can role play as Captain Nemo, the main character in the science fiction adventure novel and drive his Nautilus Submarine.
“There’s a really fun sort of narrative component to it,” Meredith Doby, vice president of exhibits at the DoSeum said. “There’s also a lot of STEM aspects to it. There’s a giant slide and a kelp forest. It’s essentially just a giant submarine. The kids can go in and explore and just have a lot of fun.”

Artist Marina DeBris starts each day combing the beaches of Sydneyâs eastern suburbs for rubbish that she fashions into a kind of couture called âtrashionâ. Itâs not hard for this âtrashionistaâ to find raw materials for her creations.
âYou wouldnât believe some of the things I find washed up on the beach,â she says â the most common: cigarette butts; the strangest: a latex sex toy.
Model and scientist Laura Wells wears âThe ones that got awayâ, which Marina DeBris made from aluminium cans and plastic bottles.Â
