MRR members have managed firsthand major traveling exhibitions of recovered shipwreck artifacts throughout the Unites States. Future plans for exhibition include a virtual museum, an extensive online database, the development of educational programs, and traveling exhibitions. These plans will ultimately enhance the cultural and intrinsic value of the artifacts recovered.

3-D Modeling:
With today’s technologically advanced camera and software abilities, it is possible to capture 3-D imagery of artifacts. MRR strives to keep up with advancements in modern 3-D scanning and modeling to help with future peer review and academic study, as well as to move toward creating a more extensive virtual database and online virtual museum. Not only will 3-D modeling enable the ongoing study of artifacts, it will allow academic institutions and shipwreck enthusiasts to print replicas of artifacts from standard 3-D printers.
