What's Inside
Our Jellyfish Museum is home to over 25 unique species of jellyfish collected from different corners of the world’s oceans. Here you will discover both cold-water and warm-water jellyfish, presented in an extraordinary variety of sizes, shapes, and mesmerizing colors.
Thanks to our specially designed aquariums, you don’t need to dive into the ocean or face extreme conditions to observe these fascinating creatures. We bring the underwater world closer, allowing you to safely admire jellyfish that have inhabited our planet for more than 500 million years.
The museum experience goes beyond observation. Visitors can immerse themselves in a thematic 3D projection, creating the sensation of being deep beneath the ocean’s surface. Additionally, scientific and educational information displays guide you through the incredible diversity of living jellyfish and reveal the wonders of the underwater world.
The Jellyfish Museum is a place where science, nature, and art come together, offering an unforgettable journey into one of the most mysterious forms of life on Earth.
