An exhibition entitled “Maritime Mythology: a World of Wonder” has now opened in Gallery 2, inviting you to dive into the enchanting world of Maritime Folklore and Mythology.
The exhibition relates stories of Sailors’ Superstitions and Mythology deeply ingrained in maritime cultures, from mighty Sea Gods of Greek and Roman legend to mysterious Mermaids, Sea Nymphs and Water Spirits hiding beneath the waterways.
Features include QMM library ephemera, photographs and artworks by our volunteers, and a variety of exquisite seashells from Torres Strait.
Come with us and discover the magic that lies beneath the waves. The exhibition continues until the end of February 2025.
