Civic Aquarium of Milan

Gaze at the oceanic wonders of the deep inside the Acquario Civico di Milano (Civic Aquarium of Milan). The third-oldest aquarium in Europe is set in its own watery splendor, housed in an Art Nouveau period building complete with friezes and hand-painted tiles. Follow the narrative via aquatic characters, from the mountain stream to sea beds. All creatures are kept in clearly labelled display tanks, from starfish to octopi and sting rays. Established in 1906 as part of the Milan International fair, the Civic Aquarium of Milan is an artistic and aquatic adventure, as well as a living museum.
