Student intern launches new exhibition
Willy Wong, Student Intern from the University of Leicester returns with another article on a new display for an exhibition he’s recently completed. He is a part of a heritage internship programme at the National Museum of the Royal Navy. His work involves working across the National Museum, including the new exhibition, the Making of a Royal Marines Commando which has recently opened in Action Stations at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
Before the exhibition launched, Willy took an active role in dressing several mannequins, transforming them into Royal Marines Commandos. Each mannequin was added to different environments to simulate the experience of a Royal Marines Commando. This realistic depiction shows the different types of environments Royal Marines might operate in and the challenges they may face.
This included setting up mannequins in mountainous, Arctic and amphibious environments. Willy also took the time to organise written content which explains the types of warfare experienced in each one.
The Making of a Royal Marines Commando is now open in Action Stations at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Book your All Attraction ticket online and save 20% on the
