Dive into the world of Sharks at our Members' Preview!
Created by the Australian Museum, Sharks takes you beneath the surface to discover the diversity, biology, and cultural significance of one of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures. Blending science, storytelling, and immersive design, it’s a chance to see sharks in a way you never have before with state-of-the-art projections, interactive models and even a specially designed ‘oceanarium’ that brings sharks to life as they swim virtually through their ocean habitats.
Come face to face with nine life-sized scientifically accurate models, including the now extinct 270-million-year-old Helicoprion (also known as the Buzzsaw Shark); the Hammerhead Shark, known for its unique head shape and 360-degree vision; and the Great White Shark, one of the most famous (and feared) species of shark, and more!
Throughout the Preview, enjoy exclusive access to the exhibition and Special Exhibition Store. Be amongst the first to see Sharks, from the Australian Museum!
Sharks is produced and circulated by the Australian Museum and supported by Earth Sciences New Zealand.
