Over 70 percent of our planet is covered by vast expanses of water, which we call oceans, hiding a fascinating world that mankind continuously strives to discover. With over 250,000 species recorded and new life forms constantly being brought to light by research, the deep offers endless intrigue. The new immersive special exhibition, "The Sea," at Fabrique des Lumières, provides a unique opportunity for explorers young and old to journey beneath the surface and encounter these many inhabitants. Visitors can fulfill the dream of being surrounded by schools of fish, seeing a coral reef up close, or playing in the water with dolphins.
This exhibition allows guests to experience the underwater world life-size and up close. Marvel at rarely seen deep-sea fish, feel the presence of a great white shark, and witness the graceful dance of schools of fish. As you participate in this simulated dive, you'll find yourself immersed among giant blue whales, orcas, and sperm whales. The full shapes and vibrant colors of the underwater flora and fauna are presented in stunning detail. From exotic seahorses and glowing jellyfish to the mysterious deep dark waters where light cannot penetrate, every corner of this immersive ocean experience reveals breathtaking landscapes and creatures. It's a poignant opportunity for both adults and children to discover the infinite richness of the oceans, a world that few people get to see and which currently faces a fragile future.
