There were a number of interactive screens that visitors could use at their own pace to learn about the research and other facets of work and life on the Antarctic continent today. 

The Belgica ship was frozen into the Antarctic sea ice and the crew had to spend months in the dark and freezing conditions before they were able to free the ship again and sail back to Europe. 

The MAS museum had many old maps on display. 

There were over 45,000 people that visited the MAS exhibition in the 4.5 months that it was open to the public!

The MAS exhibition 'To the Antarctic' blended old historical aspects from the Belgica expedition with contemporary part which focused on the research taking place on the continent. 

An old pair of pants and jacket were on display from the time of the Belgica expedition.
