The Senckenberg Naturmuseum conveys the themes ’Marine Research and Deep Sea’ as immersive experiences. During a dive the museum visitors explore unbelievable depths of up to 8000 metres under the surface. The exhibits, research equipment, ship models and submarines are integrated into a dynamic light installation, which is coupled with a large projection. It illustrates the functions of the devices, which are indispensable for marine research. The visitors themselves become active in a walk-in submarine: With a joystick, they set off on an expedition. The diversity of the deep sea inhabitants and their habitats is staged in the room ’Deep Sea’. The exhibits, partly designed as Hands-On, are backlit. The room contours are vanishing, creating the impression of infinite vastness in dark depths.
