I tried to go to that immersive exhibit here, apparel get motion sickness even from that 🤣🫠🤯 It took all of 5 minutes before I had to walk out. Which stinks, we get a few a year here.

Thanks for your comment, Kate. I also hesitated to do this because my husband has occasional episodes of vertigo, but he did well. We sat on a platform over the water - I would probably not do that again as every time someone moved, the platform moved, too! - CW

Oh my goodness. I definitely could not have done that even though it sounds so nice!

The Water Museum, another place on our list of to-do's, but we just haven't gotten around to yet. Thanks for the reminder!

Carol- I recently saw something very similar when I was in Bordeaux. It was at the old WW2 submarine base (built by Italians and utilized by the Germans in occupied Bordeaux). The exhibit was on Egypt and the submarine base was dark so initial wandering was a little challenging until your eyes got sensitized. My reaction was similar to yours. Fun if you wanted something unusual and different to do, but it didn’t knock my socks off!

Thanks for your comment, Barb. I'm sure this type of exhibit is popular in other countries as well as in Portugal. Makes interesting use of different structures especially in areas frequented by tourists. We're glad we went, but once is enough! -CW
