The Oceanographic Museum offers a festival of colours for Carnival, an opportunity for the whole family to discover a marine world populated by fish with flamboyant costumes and full of secrets! Animals know perfectly how to disguise themselves to go unnoticed by predators: you too can add colour by disguising yourself and brighten up your visit!

"The Heart of the Ocean beats for you. The Oceanographic Museum dresses the Whale Room and its skeletons with sound and light. Let yourself be carried away by this moment of magic and come and (re)discover the great skeletons of the fin whale, the magnificent killer whale or the narwhal as you have never seen them before thanks to the new light show of the skeletons orchestrated by Xavier PERRET to original music by Clovis Schneider. To watch, listen and discover at every hour of the day from 10am to 5pm.
