The huge fresh- and saltwater aquarium Sea Life Munich is located directly in the famous Munich Olympic Park. The Visitor follows a trail from the springs of the river Isar in the Mountains to the Danube into the Black Sea and the Tropical Sea. On two levels the visitors get in close contact with the regional and tropical underwater world, but also get a deep view into the different natural systems. "Must-see" at Sea Life Munich is the 400.000 litre tropical ocean tank with its 10 meter underwater tunnel. Chris Lange was creatively responsible for visitor experience from the initial planning through out the completion of the attraction.
