• Science On a Sphere^® creates the illusion of a dynamic, rotating Earth suspended in mid-air.
• The Living Shoreline interprets the life found in and around a typical creek of the lower Chesapeake Bay.
• Secrets of the Deep features a working replica of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution research submersible Clelia visiting NOAA's Monitor National Marine Sanctuary.
• NOAA's Legacy combines 19th century nautical charts and interactive exhibits to illustrate NOAA's important role in supporting safe maritime commerce.
• Navigation Alley uses archival and contemporary photographs, a hands-on large-scale puzzle, and flip-up panels to interpret NOAA's heritage and current activities.
