Embarking on a Journey of Discovery at the Newly Opened National Geographic Museum of Exploration

Venturing into the National Geographic Museum of Exploration, visitors are instantly transported into a world of awe-inspiring discovery and thrilling journeys. From the intriguing depths of the ocean to the unbounded expanse of outer space, the museum is littered with artifacts and memoirs of audacious adventurers. A bewildering highlight is a sight of an unusual yellow object, which actually is the diving saucer used by Jacques Cousteau for his 1964 documentary, ‘World Without Sun’.

The exploration narrative continues with relics such as the bathysphere, used by William Beebe in 1934 to dive more than 3,000 feet. Also on display is the Maruti Suzuki 4x4, which Sandesh Kadur used to track wildlife in India, along with a dugout canoe used by Steve Boyes, and a one-atmosphere JIM suit worn by Dr. Sylvia Earle during her deep ocean ventures.
