How diverse is life in the ocean?
SeaQrium, part of the National Marine Biodiversity Institute of Korea in Janghang, Seocheon, takes its name from the sea and the questions visitors ask about it. Its official introduction says that more than 7,000 marine specimens are on display. Rather than memorizing names, try asking where an unusual animal lives and how it survives.
From the fourth floor to the third
According to the museum's floor guides, the fourth-floor Gallery 1 introduces many kinds of marine specimens alongside an interactive media wall. On the third floor, Gallery 2, visitors can explore marine mammals and the lives of turtles and penguins. Individual exhibits and digital activities can change. The first-floor children's activity room and ocean cinema have separate participation conditions.
