Bligh - Hero or Villain?
A new exhibition challenging the popularly held stereotype of one of history’s most infamous figures.
Almost universally portrayed as a villain in movies and books, does this view of William Bligh stand scrutiny today?
Bligh - Hero or Villain challenges this popular narrative, looking beyond the Bounty mutiny to explore the many sides of this most infamous of maritime figures. Judge for yourself - this interactive and immersive exhibition is unlike anything you've ever experienced before.
Step into Bligh's world - climb aboard a replica of the small boat Bligh and crew were set adrift in, see real breadfruit growing, cast your vote on whether you think Bligh was a 'hero' or 'villain' with a real-time voting system, and much more.
Now showing at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour Sydney. Book now at
