NEW EXHIBITS 2014 was also a great year for NUM’s exhibition department. The addition of new exhibit staff and a new Mila-wall system greatly expanded our exhibit capabilities! In December we opened the largest temporary exhibit we have staged in nine years, The Thresher Legacy, to positive reviews. 2014 also brought plans for new exhibits projects to come, both in 2015 and longer term. THE THRESHER LEGACY: A BETTER, SAFER NAVY Opened December 3 The sinking of USS Thresher in 1963 was the worst submarine disaster in history. In 2014, NUM opened a new exhibit that honors this tragedy by raising awareness of the important programs that came out of it — the Submarine Safety Program and the Deep Submergence Systems Project. The 1,500-square-foot exhibit, two years in the making, will be on display through late 2017. FOUR 125 NEW TEMPORARY EXHIBITS OPENED ICONIC SUBMERSIBLE (DSRV 100% 1 MYSTIC) PLACED ON EXHIBIT DESIGNED, AND INSTALLED EXHIBIT PANELS WRITTEN, INCREASE IN EXHIBIT STAFF!
