Taurons. Els guardians de l’oceà

The exhibition Taurons. Els guardians de l'oceà at CosmoCaixa Barcelona examines the evolution, biology and ecological importance of these marine animals.

The proposal explores the history of these species, which have inhabited the oceans for millions of years and have survived several global extinctions. The route includes ten life-size models of species such as the great white shark, the hammerhead shark and the extinct Helicoprion, as well as tactile elements, interactive modules and an oceanarium created specifically for the exhibition.

The content of the galleries also addresses the current situation of these animals, under pressure from industrial fishing, pollution and the climate crisis. Created by the Australian Museum, the visit is aimed at a broad audience interested in science and nature, who can observe up close the biological diversity and the role these animals play in today's marine ecosystems.
