OZEANEUM Stralsund
Hafenstraße 11

An underwater journey through the northern seas – unique in Europe

The OZEANEUM on Stralsund harbour island is the fourth and newest location of the Ocean Museum Germany. 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 facade of white ship steel, visitors experience the fascinating exhibition about whales with replicas of the sea giants in original size.

Other highlights of the tour include an adventure exhibition for children, a spacious penguin enclosure on the roof terrace and Europe's largest Baltic Sea exhibition. The largest aquarium holds 2.6 million litres of water and its 50 m² panoramic window offers a view of shoals of fish, rays and even sharks. The OZEANEUM combines five scientific exhibitions with 50 breathtaking, partly huge aquariums. The museum received the "Europe Museum of the Year 2010" award for this.

NATUREUM

Address

NATUREUM Darßer Ort
Darßer Ort 1 – 3
18375 Born am Darß

To the lighthouse and back through the Darß Forest

NATUREUM is located in the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park (Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft) not far from the Darßer Ort lighthouse, near Prerow. It has been a natural history museum since 1991 and houses exhibitions on the Darßer Ort natural region, the Baltic coast and local animals as shown in the “Darß Forest by night” scenario featuring twilight-active forest dwellers. Baltic Sea aquaria, the beach and dune garden, the wetland ecosystem and the accessible lighthouse are surely worth a visit and compensate for the little journey through the Darß Forest because NATUREUM is only reachable on foot, by bike or horse-drawn carriage.
