CURRENT EXHIBIT: WOMEN WHO DELIVERED MAIL UNDER THE SEA
“This exhibit celebrates the 39 women who have used the human occupied vehicle (HOV) Alvin to dive for scientific purposes more than nine times including the Marianna Trench. On display is mail that has traveled to the depth of the ocean in the submersible Alvin and postage stamps which show the creatures and fauna they work with, as well as an actual piece of a hydrothermal vent “smoker” tell the stories of their work. The exhibit runs until mid September.
Observe the Postage Stamp—Its Usefulness Depends Upon Its Ability to Stick to One Thing Till It Gets There
