“ It is the interactions among people, real objects, phenomena, and ideas that make museum exhibitions unique. Exhibitions are the essence of a museum experience.” Kathleen McLean EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY First two installments opened in June and August This new exhibit series, centered on the idea that photographs are imbued with information, debuted in 2014. Each installment parses a single photo to explain the history and stories behind different components in the image. The first two installments delved into bathyscaphe Trieste’s historic Challenger Deep dive and into the early design and operation of A-class submarines. JAPANESE KAITEN: HUMAN TORPEDO Opened October 15 Our 50-foot kaiten, a manned Japanese torpedo from World War II, is a perennial visitor favorite. This year we added new interpretation that explains the development and use of kaiten during the war. The exhibit is designed not only to share this technical history, but also to remind visitors what it means to offer your life for your country. www.navalunderseamuseum.org
