Experience Birch Aquarium’s "Meditation Ocean: Aquarius Reef Base." This multi-sensory art and science installation reimagines the historic Aquarius Reef Base — the world’s only undersea research habitat — as a meditation space inspired by life beneath the ocean. Step through a portal into the underwater research station and experience life as the aquanauts did. Explore projections filmed at the original platform, wander through simulated underwater spaces and step inside a recreation of aquanauts' living quarters — all accompanied by ambient reef sounds and playful design that invite reflection on our connection to the ocean.
