ON EXHIBIT!
Seabots: Pilots of the Deep Nauticus' exciting new exhibit takes visitors behind the scenes of Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) – underwater robots which scour the oceans exploring the mysteries of the sea! Seabots combines elements of Extreme Deep: Mission to the Abyss with an innovative "living laboratory" that lets you see invention in action – or take part in it yourself!

ON EXHIBIT!
Carte de Visite This exhibit features cartes de visite, a unique collection of Civil War photographs from the collection of Ambassador John William Middendorf II. These small, commercially produced cards, each with a mounted photograph, were the 19th century equivalent of today's baseball cards, and allowed people to see and own images of celebrated persons.
