Oceans, the last wild territory
to
Museu Blau de Barcelona Parque del Fòrum 4-5, 08019 Barcelona
Documentary film Oceans (2009) is the inspiration behind this exhibition at the Museu Blau.
Visitors are plunged into submarine life with 480 hours of unpublished footage from the French documentary, which has been described as ‘the greatest testimony of the seabed ever filmed’. Directed by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, the film required 75 sea expeditions, 500 people and €50 million in funding across seven years; the result of which is an incredible snapshot of the ocean’s deepest depths.
The exhibition features a circuit of 14 high-definition screens and a large curved screen that portray life-size marine habitats, along with a selection of 3D images viewed through special glasses. Interactive displays explain the workings of the five oceans, with a children’s activity area for younger explorers. General admission is €6.50.
