Anchors aweigh on a journey across millennia of seafaring with the authentic models of the Ships Gallery (展览馆). The ageless quest to cross the world’s waterways—to trade, travel, war or explore—required the right ship to fit the purpose. Ships Gallery, presented by Captain Dave Turitt, features a collection of scale models showing how ships were shaped by tasks and technologies for thousands of years. Might you be inspired to take the helm? Aye, aye.

See rare and fascinating historic bicycles from the Museum’s collection alongside new high-tech bikes in The Art of the Bicycle. It is an invention where science, art and engineering intersect (相交；交叉)—and one we can master at six years old. The first bicycles were revolutionary 200 years ago, and today’s bike designers continue to redefine and revisit the concept of cycling. Trace the path of an evolution from Boneshaker to Moonlander in a beautiful gallery of creativity and ingenuity.

Take the model railroad trip that can whisk you cross-country in minutes, or fascinate you for hours. Whether for global shipping or personal adventures, the railroad doesn’t just move people and things—it has long reflected our nation’s character and ambitions. Ride along as The Great Train Story presents 2200 miles of scenery and stories from Chicago to Seattle along 1400 feet of winding track. People say that things look different from a train. From these trains, the view is amazing.
