'ONE, the Ocean as you never felt it' is an artistic installation that portrays the deep connection between humans and the sea, while invoking the grandeur of the ocean.

For João Falcato, CEO of Oceanário de Lisboa, “Exhibiting a unique work of art, worthy of any major international museum, will likely be a surprise for Oceanário de Lisboa’s visitors. We hope to provide an unprecedented experience, to inspire pride for the magnificent beings that inhabit Portugal’s sea, and ultimately, to instil a sense of admiration and responsibility to preserve this magnificent underwater world.”
