The hugely popular immersive exhibition about the history-making expeditions of deep-sea explorer and renowned film director James Cameron, Challenging the Deep, will be leaving the Australian National Maritime Museum on February 2 before touring to Queensland Museum Tropics in Townsville.
Developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum in collaboration with the Avatar Alliance Foundation, this fascinating exhibition takes visitors to the depths of our oceans through the lens of Cameron’s underwater cameras and incredible technological innovations which have enabled people across the globe to experience the least known places on earth.
Through large cinema-scale projections, rare artefacts, unique specimens, and props from his feature films, visitors are invited to step inside moments from Cameron’s greatest underwater adventures, both real and fictional.
James Cameron’s Challenging the Deep has delighted and amazed audiences of over 800,000 people across Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada, and there is now less than a month for visitors to explore this unmissable exhibition ahead of its departure.
Fans of James Cameron’s work will still be able to view his iconic submersible, DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, as part of the Museum’s newest exhibition, Ultimate Depth: A Journey to the Bottom of the Ocean.

This travelling exhibition is produced by the Australian National Maritime Museum in association with the Avatar Alliance Foundation. Supported by the museum's USA Bicentennial Gift Fund.
