This summer, dive into the world of Sharks. Bringing together cutting-edge science, indigenous perspectives, and hands-on experiences, this exhibition will show how these ancient fishes have evolved over 450 million years, and the role they play in our ocean ecosystems today.
Created by the Australian Museum, this exhibition takes you beneath the surface to discover the diversity, biology, and cultural significance of one of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures. Blending science, storytelling, and immersive design, it’s a chance to see sharks in a way you never have before.
Immerse yourself in a specially designed oceanarium, come face-to-face with striking life-sized models, and get hands-on with interactive experiences that reveal the role sharks play in the health of our oceans, the threats they face today, and what we can do to protect them.
