PREVIEW OPENING: Tuesday, August 3rd through Sunday September 5th
Chatham Marconi Maritime Center
After months of work to prepare the site for safe entrance and egress, renovate the inside of the Operations Building to meet health and safety requirements, and design and build our exhibits, we are ready to open our museum in August.
The inside of the building, with its 11 foot ceilings and historic windows provides a dramatic setting for the handsome displays that have been designed by Wondercabinet Interpretive Design. Important artifacts are being moved into position, including radio receivers, teletype machines, a directional antenna, and a diorama of the Station. Morse code keys for interactives, videos and slide shows are being integrated into the exhibits.
The public is invited to preview the new exhibits at the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center from Tuesday, August 3 through Sunday, September 5th 2010. No admission charged.
We refer to our opening this summer as a “preview” since we will be adding content to our exhibits throughout the summer. We will also ask your feedback of how we can enhance the visitor experience in the future.
