Discover the oceanum: a sea adventure for the whole family!

The Ozeaneum in Stralsund, opened in 2008, is not only a striking building in the HafenPanorama due to its extravagant architecture made of ship steel, but also a magnet for around eight million visitors who pass through its gates annually. As reports yacht.de, the Ozeaneum 2010 was recognized as the "Europe's Museum of the Year" and offers its guests a fascinating insight into the underwater world of the northern sea.

The Ozeaneum invites visitors to a trip to different themed worlds: the exhibitions present the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the open Atlantic. A highlight is the penguin pool on the roof, where visitors can watch the Humboldt penguins that are threatened with extinction. The breeding of this penguins plays an important role in species protection because it actively contributes to the preservation of the species.

With over 50 seawater aquariums, which contain more than four million liters of sea water, the Ozeaneum offers life -size models from Blauwal and Pottwal, which impressively illustrate the dimensions of these animals.
