Nha Trang aquarium

Description and is it worth a visit

Oceanographic Museum (Nha Trang aquarium) operates on the basis of the Institute of Oceanography, founded in 1923. It would be a great place to get to know yourself and introduce children to the inhabitants of the ocean, if not for its neglect. Unfortunately, most of the exhibition looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the museum was founded. The glass of the aquariums is dirty, the walls of the pools are overgrown with algae, the water is muddy, many mosquitoes fly in the rooms. Some information plates in the museum are duplicated in Russian, but in most cases there is even no description in English. If you get here at a time when tourist groups are not brought to the museum, you will almost certainly be the only visitors here.

Nevertheless, the place is interesting and worth a visit. The collection is simply huge, and even a cursory inspection of the exhibits will take at least an hour. The most important thing during the inspection is not to go astray and thereby finish the inspection ahead of time. Inspection should be carried out on the arrows indicating the order of passage, and then you can see the entire collection.

Among the exhibits are living underwater inhabitants in aquariums and pools, their skeletons and stuffed animals, dissected samples. There is even a Soviet bathyscaphe and many more different Soviet products. In the Great Hall there are 60,000 prepared specimens of marine fauna stored in glass jars, but, unfortunately, not all of them can be viewed up close.
