OCEAN. DIVING INTO THE UNKNOWN

Largely inaccessible and mostly unknown, the ocean is home to fascinating forms of life. The exhibition offers a journey to the heart of this incredible biodiversity, far from the shore and its familiar species, and raises awareness of the dangers threatening the environment.

A WORLD TO EXPLORE
Although it occupies the greatest portion of our planet, the ocean remains largely unexplored! Large friezes of pictures, interactive devices and models demonstrate the constraints of the marine environment for humans and the incredible challenge represented by its exploration.

DRIFT WITH THE CURRENT
Interactive devices and a vast 360° audiovisual display reveal unsuspected forms of life invisible to the naked eye: the world of microscopic plankton.
The exhibition highlights the beauty of these organisms and the essential role they play for the planet.

A DIVE INTO EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
Immersive projections and natural specimens invite visitors to plunge into largely inaccessible environments:  undersea and polar regions. Here
we find remarkable forms of life, adapted to extreme living conditions.

AN OCEAN OF PROMISES
Taking as a starting point the marine organism in its surroundings, here the exhibition presents the ocean’s little known resources, while promoting
a respectful approach to nature, no longer based on what we can extract from it but what we can learn from it.

BETWEEN MYTHS AND REALITY
Coelacanths, giant oarfish and giant squids unveil part of their mystery. Through myths and large projections, visitors discover a host of creatures, navigating between fantastic bestiaries and natural history treatises.
