The Australian Maritime National was actually the one museum that we went to that had an exhibit that was American. The exhibit was a $5 million gift to Australia from the United States in 1988 to commemorate the bicentennial of the first European settlement on the continent.
They have a tunnel that you can walk into and it feelings like a submarine. They play the sounds of the sonar and have a bunk room that you can lay in and feel how small the space they have is.
They have this fun display of swim wear that have been used throughout the decades. Because the Australian culture is so rooted in water of any kind, this display was a great reflection on how much their lives change due to the trends and fashions. From the early 1910’s to the swimming suits of today, they have about 10 different styles.
So this has nothing to do with anything that we talked about, but it was my favorite poster in the museum! Not Uncle Sam, but just as persuasive I guess.
