Dramatically perched atop a rocky promontory off the Mediterranean Sea, the world-famous Musée Océanographique de Monaco was founded by Prince Albert I in 1910. Prince Albert, who had a great passion for oceanography, decided that the the austere Baroque Revival structure on Monaco's cliffside should be entirely devoted to the sciences of the sea. This majestic grey-hued construction features an underground zone filled with 90 aquarium tanks, along with a spacious ground floor dedicated to skeletons of sea animals such as the colossal Blue Whale and the Japanese Crab. There is also an artificial lagoon that harbors a fluttering school of vibrant tropical and Mediterranean fishes, and a separate containment for larger, carnivorous species like sharks. On the first floor is a general exhibition of Prince Albert I's various sea-faring explorations, and a history of marine biology told through photographs and diverse exhibits.
