Ocean Hall and Evolution Hall, Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History

The State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart re-opened its two central exhibition halls dedicated to the overarching themes of evolution and biodiversity. In Evolution Creates Diversity, six thematic islands with spectacular specimens radiate around a central media table where visitors explore evolutionary concepts, while Immersion in Diversity immerses visitors in a captivating underwater environment exploring the topic of marine biodiversity. A full-scale cutaway model of a sei whale model with a narrated multimedia show forms the centerpiece of the room.
