Ozeaneum Stralsund: 500,000 visitors despite the decline - director optimistic!

Stralsund, Deutschland - The Oceaneum in Stralsund received around 500,000 visitors in 2024. This number is around 100,000 below that of the previous year and yet those responsible are satisfied with the number of visitors. The decline is relativized because 2023 was an exceptional year that was favored by a rainy summer.

The directorate of the oceanum plans to renew the exhibition "Giants of the Seas", which could not be implemented in 2024. The resources had to be used to convert the sea museum. Burkard Baschek, director of the German Museum of Sea Museum Foundation, commented on the exhibitions and announced a more impressive design of the "giants of the sea" for 2025. In addition, the large aquarium tour in the marine museum will be completed in the spring of 2025, which should further increase the attractiveness of this facility.

Best visitor numbers for over ten years

like Deutsches-meeresmuseum.de reported the best visitor numbers for over ten years, which underlines the continued popularity of the house. Despite the decline compared to the previous year, the total number of visitors remains a gratifying result for the operators.
