Details
The oceans are suffering drastically from climate change and increasing pollution. For this reason, it is important to give this topic an appropriate place. Rising water temperatures are endangering many habitats. The winds and air currents have already shifted significantly. We are experiencing the effects of extreme weather conditions and flooding. This makes it all the more important to create a place that depicts the dramatic situation and gives us peace to reflect on the situation. The museum is located close to the beach in the Danish North Sea on Fanø Bay.
The Jury‘s Statement
The Museum of the Oceans offers a special place that focuses on the critical effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. Its beachfront location on Fanø Bay allows visitors to reflect on the fragile relationship between humans and nature.
