Where to watch "Museum Men"
10. Resurrecting the Titanic
No release date yet
Creative Arts has been hired to recreate the grand staircase from the most famous ship of all time: the Titanic! They'll be building it for the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This will be the team's most challenging wood-working project to date, and they'll only have 65 days to get it done. They'll face equipment failures and learn more about the history of the Titanic as they complete their project. In addition to the grand staircase build, the team will also be building a Terracotta warrior for a local Chinese restaurant. The team will make their warrior life-sized, and paint it in the authentic style.
9. The Levitating Throne
No release date yet
Creative Arts is building a Byzantine hydraulic throne inspired by King Solomon for the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, Florida. This mighty hydro-powered throne was an engineering wonder as it elevated above a ruler's subjects. Roger and his team will have very few resources to use as they recreate this throne--complete with animals and ornate jewels--using only sketches and ancient text that describe this almost supernatural seat. The team will also build a medieval crossbow for a "living historian" and archery enthusiast.
8. First Wwi Tank
No release date yet
Creative Arts is building the Mark 1 tank for the Discovery Park of America, one of the premier museums in the southern United States. The Mark 1 was the most game-changing weapon to emerge from World War 1 because it revolutionized modern warfare. With no replicas in the United States, Creative Arts will have to depend on photographs and illustrations as they build the first Mark 1 ever for any American museum. The team also takes on a side project--a telephone booth for a local Florida hotel. This historical phone booth will house the hotel's prized possession: an actual 1930's era telephone!
7. Medieval Torture Devices
No release date yet
Creative Arts has been commissioned by a Tennessee museum to build an exhibit focusing on items of torture from the Spanish Inquisition. This spine-tingling exhibit will include a life-sized bronze bull, complete with built-in door and hollow interior. Creative Arts will also build a rack and a breaking wheel to help tell this gruesome tale. The team also takes on a side project--a sidecar for a WW2 Russian motorcycle. As part of the Wounded Warrior program, the vintage bike and sidecar will be presented to a disabled veteran from the Marine Corps.
6. Evel Knievel's Rocket
No release date yet
Creative Arts has been commissioned by the Tennessee Museum of Aviation--home to one of the best historical aircraft collections in the country--to build the Skycycle X-2, the rocket used by Evel Knievel in his most famous daredevil stunt. Knievel used the Skycycle to attempt an 1,800 foot jump across Idaho's Snake River Canyon. Creative Arts will bring this flying machine to life, focusing on the streamlined fuselage and minimalist cockpit, the fighter plane-inspired nose and tail, and the signature paint scheme that matched Evel's flashy personality. The team will also be building President Kennedy's Resolute Desk for the retired mayor of Tampa.
5. Lincolns letzte Reise
No release date yet
Creative Arts wurde vom Sarasota Classic Car Museum beauftragt, eine maßstabsgetreue Nachbildung der Bestattungskutsche von Präsident Abraham Lincoln in Springfield zu bauen.
4. Yeager's Supersonic Jet
No release date yet
Creative Arts is building the Bell X1 for the Armed Forces History Museum in Largo, Florida. American pilot Chuck Yeager flew this experimental rocket plane as he attempted--and succeeded--in breaking the sound barrier. This record-setting flight was the envy of the world as several countries had been trying for years to build and fly a plane fast enough to break the speed of sound. Roger and his team have a unique challenge as they choose to display the airplane suspended form the museum's ceiling and not resting on the floor. The Bell X1 must be light enough--and safe enough--for elevated display without compromising authenticity of the iconic aircraft. Creative Arts will also build a Pennsylvania Long Rifle for the Florida Frontiersmen, a local non-profit group that wants to present the firearm as a scholarship award to one of their young members.
3. Relaunching Apollo 13
No release date yet
The Museum of Science and Industry is looking to expand their space race exhibit, and they know just the team to help them do this: Creative Arts. The team agrees to build the iconic Apollo 13 lunar module, the hero craft from the perilous Apollo 13 mission. Creative Arts will also build a heat shield for the museum's existing Mercury capsule. In 1970, a mission to the moon turned into a story of survival when an oxygen tank exploded. Their command module disabled, the three-man crew was forced to take refuge in their lunar module. With a lot of ingenuity and a little bit of duct tape, the Apollo 13 crew made their harrowing journey home. On top of the pressures of the space race exhibit, Creative Arts has taken on another, more sentimental project: a recreation of the William Wallace sword.
2. Operation Seehund
No release date yet
Creative Arts baut für das Tampa Bay History Center ein originalgetreues Zwerg-U-Boot, den deutschen Seehund aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Dieses wird Besuchern die extremen Bedingungen vermitteln, denen Nazis im Krieg unter und über Wasser ausgesetzt waren.
1. Herrscher vom Nil
No release date yet
Creative Arts wird mit einem ihrer bisher größten Aufträge betraut: Sie sollen die Besucherzahlen im St. Petersburger Geschichtsmuseum erhöhen, indem sie rund um die ägyptische Mumie des Museums, die Dame vom Nil, eine völlig neue Ausstellung gestalten.
