Ocean Hall

Dive beneath the surface and discover the ocean’s extraordinary diversity of life in the iconic Ocean Hall.

Billions of years ago, life began in the oceans, where tiny single-celled organisms became the starting point for the rich and complex ecosystems we know today.

Let yourself be carried from the shallow coastal waters to the depths of the open oceans. The sea covers most of our blue planet, yet much of it remains unexplored. In the exhibition, you will encounter the species we know today while learning how we can all help protect the extraordinary wealth of life found beneath the waves.

The exhibition opens with the new museum on March 6, 2027.
