State of the Art Exhibits

Looking up at the massive structure and incredible workmanship of the hull is only the beginning of your encounter with the Ark.

Our commitment to historical accuracy and artistic excellence continues inside on three decks full of beautifully crafted teaching exhibits that will inspire you to think differently about the biblical account of Noah’s Ark.
