Unseen Oceans

In our newest exhibition, Unseen Oceans, explore the mysterious wonders of the deep sea and encounter the researchers and technologies that are revealing our blue planet like never before.

Beneath the surface of the ocean lies a hidden world. Unseen Oceans takes you on a journey from the oceans’ sunlit surfaces to their inky depths to discover the special adaptations that enable strange species to thrive in darkness and pressure—and introduces you to the Academy scientists who are regenerating oceans for the future.

More information coming soon!

Unexplored depths. Unusual creatures. Opening March 21.
