In an exclusive first for the museum industry, the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich is collaborating with Punchdrunk Enrichment to create an exhibit for six to twelve year olds and their families.
With so much history secured in one museum: so many objects, so many stories, so many doorways to other times and other worlds, Against Captain’s Orders takes audience members on the adventure of a lifetime through the National Maritime Museum’s extraordinary collection of maritime artefacts. Exciting, enlightening, and, who knows, perhaps just a tiny bit dangerous, Against Captain’s Orders promises a theatrical journey through the museum, the like of which has never been seen before.
Visitors will become members of a real life crew and will be called on to work together to navigate their way through this highly adventurous exhibition. The production is the first the Museum has created specifically for six to twelve year olds and working with Punchdrunk Enrichment will ensure that anyone brave enough to get on board will scarcely believe what will happen next.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on 24 September - visitrmg.co.uk/againstorderspress for further details.
