The Museum of Marine Biology and Oceanographic Museum are two areas that will bring you surprises and interesting experiences. The Museum of Marine Life is home to thousands of samples of marine creatures. You will see more than 20,000 specimens of 4,000 different marine species. In addition, the museum also displays many specimens of freshwater creatures collected in the Gulf of Thailand, the East Sea, and Cambodia.

2. Giant creatures’ skeletons just in films

The Museum of Oceanography is famous for its “huge” specimens. If you can only watch the giant whales, the giant fossil skeletons on TV or the Internet, then you will be directly directed to the market of the giant whale skeleton up to 26 m long and 3 m high, and many other giant sample sets.

At present, the number of sea cows remains small, so it is necessary to research and conserve. They also have another name called a mermaid with a fairly long life span (from 60-70 years). The Institute of Oceanography has also kept and studied a sea cow skeleton.

There are galleries of the institute’s history, research works, research equipment over time, the history of Vietnam’s fishing industry, and specimens arranged scientifically with species, types, or bare, or soaked in hormonal jars with the scientific name and the common name of each individual.

This is not only a tourist destination but also a community education center about the marine ecosystem, about the importance of the sea in the environment, helping children learn about biological species as well as environmental awareness.
