If the depths of the deep sea have always fascinated you, then this exhibition is just for you.
The mysterious world of the deep oceans will be illuminated this June at ArtScience Museum, as it presents the largest collection of over 40 deep sea creatures in the exhibition, The Deep.
Opening on 6 June 2015, The Deep invites visitors to discover the beauty of the ocean life in an immersive environment.
The deep sea is Earth’s largest reservoir of life but has remained largely uncharted by Man, with only 10 percent of the seafloor mapped so far. In fact, more men have walked on the Moon than have dived down to the deepest part of the oceans.
This exhibition will help to reveal the mysteries lurking in the deep through the display of perfectly preserved and extremely rare animals in crystalline detail. Odd and mesmeric, these breathtaking specimens – making their debut in the region, at ArtScience Museum – will be accompanied by 67 images of captivating sea fauna and ethereal bioluminescent creatures, some photographed for the very first time. The images selected for the exhibition attest not only to the diversity of ocean life below 4,000 metres, but also to the technically demanding challenge of conducting research at these depths.
Claire Nouvian, curator of The Deep adds, ‘The Deep is a work that I hope will captivate and remind us that we belong to a vast, living chain that is incredibly beautiful, terribly fragile and – until proven otherwise – miraculously unique in the universe.’
The Deep will run for a limited season at ArtScience Museum from 6 June onwards. Tickets will go on sale from 11 May 2015 onwards.
