Thank you for doing an AMA! The Manitoba Museum is one of my absolute favourite places in the city.

Here's my question: When I was a kid I remember hearing people say that the lower level of the Nonsuch used to be open to the public, but they closed it for safety reasons (and to preserve the integrity of the ship). Is that true? Do they ever open up the lower levels these days?

Side note: Back in high school (over 10 years ago now), my friends and I were shooting a movie and asked to do some scenes in the museum. We thought we'd be turned down instantly, but the administrators were amazing, and they let us film at the Nonsuch and the urban gallery. Thank you for being an awesome part of the community!

I like the way it smells.

Oh man, that has to be my oldest memory of the museum; how the Nonsuch smells. Love it.
