DESCRIPTION
Plunge into the abyss at the Natural History Museum's The Deep Sea exhibition.
Enter the weird and wonderful world, 11,000 metres down in the ocean, less explored than the moon's surface. See bizarre creatures, astonishing images and real specimens, some on display for the first time. Experience life in 4 zones of the deep sea, from top to bottom. Explore a diverse habitat full of floating alien creatures and dazzling lights in the darkness.
See rare specimens and models from shimmering jellyfish and scary angler fish to giant spider crabs and colossal squid.
At the centre of the exhibition is a real sperm whale skeleton that has never been on display before.
Follow ocean exploration from its early days to the present, discovering historic specimens from the famous HMS Challenger expedition and a modern walk-in submersible.
Other highlights are a cinema showing videos of life in the depths, an exhibit of myths and monsters, and an interactive sea map kiosk to explore the British sea bed and find out about conservation.
Explore why we need to preserve our fragile oceans and what we can do in this International Year of Biodiversity.
