Back to topic overview

Meister Eder

The Ocean Museum is located in Stralsund, and provides insights into the fascinating life of a tropical underwater world. Visitors can see tangs, octopuses, anemones, blowfish, sea horses, pinecone fish, scarlet cleaner shrimp, and much more. The staff uses skeletons of whales and dolphins to explain the differences between the creatures, and relics from earlier eras to explain how fishing has changed over time. The exploitation of our oceans and climate change and its effects are explained in the “Humans and the Ocean” area.
The topic of the year for 2015 is the deep sea.
