What it is
The Ozeaneum is northern Germany's great sea museum, a white building with curved lines in Stralsund harbour. It takes you through the seas of northern Europe in large aquariums: the Baltic, with its shoals of herring, and the North Atlantic, in a huge tank. Upstairs, a hall with life-size whales hanging from the ceiling and, on the roof, penguins.
