博物馆拥有世界上最大的傀儡集合之一，在展示或储存中总共有92个。1933年由博物馆购买的傀儡之一，目前在我们的蒸汽大厅挂在我们的大厅里被命名为apollo。乍一看，这个傀儡似乎没有任何普通的东西，因为许多船只使用希腊神作为傀儡。然而，这个具体的傀儡有一个比一个人猜到的更有趣的过去。

阿波罗probably came from an American ship that wrecked off the coast of Norway. There were stories about this figurehead that seemed doubtful, until 2008 when Mr. Hultgren of a small Swedish museum contacted us looking for information about where Apollo was.
