It's not about the boats, it's about the people - sailors, builders, explorers, designers, fishermen, lifesavers, cannery workers, mariners of all stripes - and their stories. Our team is building displays to tell stories that will fascinate all our visitors! https://lnkd.in/gaFG2m4k #MaritimeIndustry #Museums

Our talented team is creating an unforgettable visitor experience; we break ground on the new building this fall, and our new exhibit "ntsayka ili/i ukuk - This is Our Place", collaboratively developed with the Chinook Indian Nation, opens to the public mid-September! We are so energized by the way our vision is being fleshed out and brought to life by: architects (Opsis), exhibit designers (Storyline), General Contractor (Rickenbach), CRMM staff and Trustees. We are all in on this transformative project! https://lnkd.in/gEygvCa3

We were thrilled with the positive community response at our open house Wednesday! What an honor to be able to work with the Chinook Indian Nation and so many others creating engaging new exhibits that will both honor our maritime heritage and inspire visitors to consider becoming part of our maritime future through STEAM activities and other educational programs. https://lnkd.in/gT44YCBE
