Museum Men

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. 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.

Creative Arts is building the Bell X1 for the Armed Forces History Museum in Largo, Florida and 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.

The Creative Arts team has just 17 days to build a full-scale replica of President Abraham Lincoln's Springfield funeral carriage, the same number of days that the city of Springfield had to make the original carriage for Lincoln.

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. The team will also be building President Kennedy’s Resolute Desk for the retired mayor of Tampa.

Creative Arts builds the Mark 1 tank for the Discovery Park of America, the most game-changing weapon to emerge from World War I. The team also takes on a side project, a telephone booth for a Florida hotel. This historical phone booth will house the hotel's prized possession: an actual 1930's era telephone!
