Journey from the oceans’ sunlit surfaces to their inky depths.
More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, yet surprisingly little of these vast realms has been explored. Now, with the use of 21st-century technologies like robotics, ROVs and AUVs, satellite monitoring, miniaturization, and high-definition imaging, that is beginning to change.
In Unseen Oceans, an exhibition produced by the American Museum of Natural History, visitors will embark on a journey to discover the latest ocean science and encounter the researchers and technologies that are revealing our blue planet as never before.
What you'll encounter in this exhibit:
Larger-than-life models of unusual and beautiful planktonic species
Fossils from Earth’s past—from ammonites to megalodon teeth
180-degree, high-resolution screen featuring life-sized animations of blue whales, giant squid, and manta raysÂ
Model biofluorescent fishes and turtles that glow as they would in life
Interactive projections and activity stations
A partial replica of a Triton submersible (a great photo op!)
An immersive submersible theatre offering a thrilling virtual dive
Unseen Oceans is produced by
