See the world's first exhibition of real pirate treasure!
Final Days - Closes Monday, September 6!
The "Golden Age of Piracy" has come to life in Real Pirates at the Saint Louis Science Center. The 16,000-square-foot, interactive exhibition unlocks the real world of pirates, a world which had previously been relegated to movies and books and visually romanticized.
Real Pirates tells the true story of the Whydah- a slave ship turned pirate ship that sank off the coast of Cape Cod nearly 300 years ago. At the core of the exhibition are artifacts painstakingly recovered from the ocean floor, including treasure chests of gold coins, jewelry and the most advanced weaponry of the time.
- See more than 200 artifacts from the first fully-authenticated pirate ship ever discovered in U.S. waters.
- See and touch real pirate treasure.
- Go "below deck" of the Whydah in a life-size replica of the ship.
- Experience the compelling true stories of members of the Whydah crew.
Please note that most families should plan to spend 60 - 90 minutes touring the exhibition. The experience begins with a 5-minute video presentation. The last exhibition entry time will be at 4pm daily.
