Be sure to include in the program of your stay in Monaco a visit to the Oceanographic Museum, founded by the glorious prince and scientist Albert I in 1910, which was led by Jacques-Yves Cousteau for 30 years (until 1988). The museum is located at the edge of a sheer cliff above the sea. The building has 2 facades: one faces the sea, the other faces the city. The names of ten ships that distinguished themselves in the exploration of the World Ocean are carved on the city facade, among them is the Vityaz corvette of Admiral Makarov. A very rich and colorful exposition with live exotic inhabitants of the oceans, skeletons and models of sea monsters, collections of shells, fishing gear and other rarities in a monumental building containing 90 aquariums, the largest of which is 450 cubic meters of water. In underground halls with unique living exhibits, time flies by unnoticed. Through the glass of the aquarium, two sea predators smiled at me - my person attracted their attention.
We exchanged interested glances.
There is a cinema hall and temporary exhibitions, this time there was a performance with small sharks in a shallow pool, which, to the delight of the kids, could be touched with their hands. The hall is dark - young predators should feel in their familiar environment.
