Shells
You’ll rub your eyes with astonishment as you’ll see more than thousands of these splendid shell species. However, these are only a tiny fraction of our collection of more than nine million shells!

Admire also the magnificent fish and corals of the warm seas in our tropical aquarium. A picture wall full of pictures stages a splendid sound-and-light show explaining the life and the richness of the coral reefs.
