In order to engage different audiences in MARINA topics, two different exhibitions were created. The large travelling exhibition is meant to stay in one location, such as a science museum, science center or aquarium center, for multiple months. The smaller light exhibition is meant to be set up in one location for a short while, for example one day at an ocean-themed event.

MARINA TRAVELLING EXHIBITION: An Ocean of Opportunities for a Blue Society

MARINA traveling exhibition enables visitors of all ages to learn about the importance of the world Ocean and responsible research and innovation through games, experiences and hands-on discoveries. It showcases the way we benefit from the treasures of the sea in our day-to-day lives and more specifically marine biotechnologies, deep sea mining, maritime transport and renewable marine energies.
