The Ateliers des Capucins in Brest offers a fascinating tour of a wide range of ocean-related themes.
Welcome to 70.8, the science museum that plunges you into the heart of the ocean! Located on the Capucins plateau in Brest, this Océanopolis experience explores the treasures and challenges of our blue planet. But why 70.8? Quite simply, it's the percentage of ocean that covers the Earth, a nod to the marine immensity that this museum showcases. Here you're taken on a three-story adventure: ocean resources, observation and navigation. Imagine walking on an animated floor that mimics the beaches of Brittany, with shells and fish escaping beneath your feet. Along the way, you'll discover concrete examples of the impact of the sea on our daily lives, from health to cosmetics, and even Haribo sweets!
Take a ticket to the abyss! Illuminated by black smokers and populated by mysterious creatures, these depths seem straight out of a science-fiction film. Then it's on to the future, with marine biotechnologies, ships of the future and marine renewable energies. A showcase of the latest innovations, proudly Breton, combining high-tech and respect for the ocean. It's an interactive and instructive dive, punctuated by screens, simulations and an application in several languages, including Breton. And as an added bonus, the journey begins behind the majesty of Napoleon's imperial canoe! 70.8 is much more than a museum: it's an invitation to discover, to dream and, above all, to understand that the future of our planet is at stake in the heart of the oceans.
