The Museum's new major exhibition at the Jardin des Plantes plunges us into the depths of the ocean!
This territory, which covers 71% of the Earth's surface, is home to an immense and as yet unsuspected biodiversity. On an immersive tour, you can explore unusual environments and meet species with astonishing characteristics.
A journey beneath the surface that raises awareness of the richness of the marine environment and warns of the threats posed by human activities.

A journey beneath the surface that raises awareness of the richness of the marine environment and warns of the threats posed by human activities.
The adventure begins with an observation: the ocean is little-known because it is an environment with many constraints. To meet the challenge of exploring it, scientists have invented increasingly effective techniques and tools over the centuries. Take a look at the major milestones in this underwater odyssey! Discover the role played today by Museum researchers in the inventory of marine biodiversity, how our tools have evolved to reach new depths and the current missions of Museum researchers to inventory this biodiversity, most of which has yet to be discovered.
Observe life invisible to the naked eye by entering the fascinating world of microscopic plankton. Discover the importance and beauty of the micro-organisms that make up over 95% of the ocean's biomass.
Dive into extreme environments, in territories that are difficult to access. Discover the relief of the great depths and the icy waters of the Southern Ocean. In these places, long considered deserts, you'll find original forms of life with astonishing characteristics.
