What to expect

North Building: A long journey of 3.5 billion years

~Animals that returned to the sea~

Approximately 3.5 billion years ago, single-celled organisms appeared in the ocean as the first life forms on Earth. Countless life forms evolved, and some of them moved onto land and evolved into giant dinosaurs that came to dominate the land, but eventually became extinct.

Later, mammals took over the land, and about 50 million years ago, some of them returned to the ocean, the home of life. These were the animals that evolved into modern whales. To adapt to life in the water, they changed their body shape to a streamlined form with no wasted space, and evolved into the beautiful form we see today.

This tour takes you through the world of cetaceans, marine dwellers who, throughout the long history of evolution, have adapted to life underwater and developed incredible intelligence, making them comparable in status to humans on land.



South Hall: Journey to Antarctica

~Encountering various life forms in five oceans on a journey across the globe~

The vast ocean, which covers about 70% of the Earth, has different temperatures and climates depending on the area, so creatures have adapted to various environments and continued to evolve. In the South Building, you can follow the route that the Antarctic Research Vessel Fuji, moored at Nagoya Port Garden Pier, took when it headed to Antarctica, and observe creatures living in various water areas, including the "Japanese Seas," "Deep Sea Gallery," "Equatorial Seas," "Australian Waters," and "Antarctic Seas."

Take a trip to Antarctica and get up close and personal with the creatures that live in its various aquatic habitats.
