Description
From 3 April 2019 to 5 January 2020, Ocean: Diving into the Unknown can be discovered at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. Deespite occupying nearly 71% of the Earth's surface, oceans are largely unknown to the general public and only a tiny portion has been explored. This exhibition reveals a world of stunning creatures and the rich biodiversity of seabeds, and is a magnificent display of knowledge about our oceans, such as that 20% of the marine species discovered in the past 10 years throughout the world were discovered thanks to campaigns by the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle.
