Museum Men: Season 1, Episode 9

1 - 9:

Creative Arts is building a Byzantine hydraulic throne inspired by King Solomon for the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, Florida. This mighty hydro-powered throne was an engineering wonder as it elevated above a ruler’s subjects. Roger and his team will have very few resources to use as they recreate this throne–complete with animals and ornate jewels–using only sketches and ancient text that describe this almost supernatural seat. The team will also build a medieval crossbow for a “living historian” and archery enthusiast.
