From early aquaria to today’s immersive pavilions, the story mirrors our evolving relationship with the ocean.
Milestones
- 1890s–1900s: Early public fascination with marine life.
- Mid-20th century: Expansion of exhibits and educational focus.
- Today: Immersive habitats and conservation-forward storytelling.
Old images offer context: how design shifted from display-first to animal-first environments.
Then vs. Now (Design Focus)
| Era | Emphasis | Visitor Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Early | Display-first, curiosity | Specimens and simple tanks |
| Mid | Education and taxonomy | Labels, guided learning |
| Now | Animal-first habitats | Immersion, conservation stories |
Fun to Spot in Photos
- Architectural shifts around windows and glass.
- Changes in habitat complexity.
- Evolving exhibit narratives.
