Visit the Ark of Noah
Ipswich — Orwell Quay
NOAH’S ARK is the world’s only floating exhibition of Bible stories.
For millennia, Noah’s Ark has been the symbol of hope.
Created from the fertile brain of Dutch TV and Theatre producer Sir Aad Peters, The Ark is a half-sized replica of Noah’s original boat and an educational and cultural celebration of many of the Bible’s legendary stories.
overing 2,000 square metres and 4 floors, the biblical stories are brought to life through an array of unique wooden carved sculptures, the centre of which is the tree of life growing 12 metres up through the middle of the ship.
In the ten years since the boat was created over half a million visitors, including many schools have launched their own education projects based around the themes on The Ark.
Aad Peters has already taken his Ark and the message of hope to the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Norway and for the first time has brought it to Britain.
