Ozeaneum Stralsund

The OZEANEUM on Stralsund's harbor island is the fourth and newest location of the German Oceanographic Museum. Since July 2008, the museum with its exhibitions and aquariums has been inviting visitors on an exciting journey through the underwater world. Behind the spectacular architecture with a façade made of white ship steel, visitors can experience the fascinating exhibition on whales with full-size replicas of the marine giants.

The OZEANEUM combines five scientific exhibitions with 50 breathtaking aquariums, some of which are huge. The museum received the "European Museum of the Year 2010" award for this.
