ART

Two hundred years ago this week, William Bligh and 17 others were set adrift in an open boat by Fletcher Christian, and to mark the date, the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, London, is staging a massive multimedia production on two floors to retell the story. The exhibition, opening Friday, will include models of the castaways in a launch built for the 1984 film “The Bounty,” images of Tahiti, artifacts and historical material of the time and a stereo sound track of the mutiny as if heard from below decks. A replica of the cabin of HMS Duke, where the court-martial was conducted, will be “peopled” by “animatronics” or speaking models.
