Visit the MEERESMUSEUM in Stralsund's old town

The opening summer at the MEERESMUSEUM in Stralsund's old town starts on July 17, 2024. After several years of extensive modernization, the oldest location of the German Oceanographic Museum will once again open its doors daily. New exhibitions and the first aquariums can be seen along an initially shortened tour. Until the complete museum tour has been completed, our guests pay half of the regular admission price.

The exhibitions show the enormous variety of animals and habitats of the world's oceans in new floor-to-ceiling displays with full-size models of sharks, rays and dolphins, an animated school of sardines and a projection globe. A reunion with the model of the leatherback turtle “Marlene” and the famous fin whale skeleton in the choir of the Katharinenhalle is also already possible during the summer months. 

The transition to the new aquarium building with the largest tank “Caribbean Reef” down into the modernized aquarium cellar is expected to be completed in October. 

September to June: daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

July to August: daily from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
