Marine Life, Melbourne Museum, Melbourne

Opened / December 2005
Floor Area / 450m²

The Marine Life Exhibition explores the marine diversity of Australia’s southern oceans with a particular emphasis on the Victorian coastline. Displays range from sponge gardens, reef and kelp, the giant squid and sperm whales, to feeding and hunting and the food web. The exhibition is a holistic immersive environment in which light and colour reduce as the visitor ventures into deeper waters. Complex graphics and multimedia are fully integrated into the experience and specialty interactives engage and educate visitors of all ages.
