German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund: Still without fish
The museum was closed for three years for extensive remodelling work, but even after its reopening, some things still remind us of a building site. Even months after the opening of the German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund, the work has not yet been completed. Visitors have been able to enter the museum again since July, but not to the full extent. One of the main problems is the lack of control elements to regulate the temperature and salt content in the aquariums.
Only half the regular entrance fee
The newly designed aquariums are currently still empty, as the necessary control systems for the water quality have not yet been installed. Fish will only be able to move into the tanks once this technology has been fully installed. The museum’s main attraction is particularly affected – a huge aquarium with a Caribbean reef that extends over three floors and has a nine-metre-high pane. Work continues on the levels from which visitors will later be able to view the underwater world.
The incomplete reopening has also had an impact on visitor numbers. According to a spokesperson for the museum, around 80,000 guests have been counted since the partial reopening – fewer than expected. ‘Many visitors want to see real fish. The lifelike replicas, skeletons, ship models and multimedia offerings alone cannot make up for this,’ explained the spokesperson. For this reason, only half the regular admission price is currently charged.
Everyone involved is working flat out to complete the aquariums and bring the museum to life in all its splendour. According to the museum, it should be ready by spring. The first signs of progress are already visible: the artificial corals have been installed and the large tank has been filled with water as a test.
