Aquarium is an underwater paradise with a broad collection

The
National Aquarium
Denmark’s Aquarium (Danmarks Akvarium) was inaugurated
in 1939 and from the very start the Aquarium’s
ambition was to create a world-classed underwater
paradise and aquatic facility –
with a broad collection of species from the world’s
aquatic life living in our precious seas and oceans. The Aquarium
is also an international recognised research centre for scientific
studies – conversation and
education. A dedicated team of scientist
coordinates their marine science to a network of international
marine life aquariums stretching across the world. Denmark’s
Aquarium considers itself to be the National Aquarium
and institute of its type in Denmark with a reputation for
excellence to provide visitors with stunning exhibits
and a greater insight and understanding of the underwater
wildlife as well as the important meaning of global conservation
of the marine environment.
