Stunning place in Monaco. The building is just phenomenal on the edge of the rocks and inside is beautiful! A lot of variety of fishes and really interesting halls for ships. Unfortunately one of the halls with big skeletons was being renovated and didn’t manage to see it. Highly recommend!

We visited the museums on a weekend and there was surprisingly no line. We bought the tickets and entered in less than 5 minutes. We entered an hour and a half before closing and we managed to see everything we wanted to, but i would recommend taking 2 hours to see and read everything calmly. The staff was very kind and helpful and the exhibition was truly one of a kind. Would definitely visit again.

I highly recommend visiting the Monaco Oceanographic Museum. The building has five levels in total (including the ground floor and terrace), but the two highlights are Floor -2 and Floor +1.
Floor -2 (Aquariums): This is where you’ll find the aquariums, the main attraction for both adults and children. It’s a must-see.
Floor +1 (Exhibits): This floor houses fascinating exhibits about oceanography, exploration, and history. Adults will find them engaging, though children may lose interest quick

The Musée océanographique de Monaco is a great place to explore marine life. You’ll see a wide variety of fish, from tiny colourful ones to much larger species.
The aquariums are beautiful to watch, and it’s easy to lose track of time just observing the underwater world. You can comfortably spend a few hours here enjoying the rich and fascinating marine life.

The Musée océanographique de Monaco is a beautiful place to visit, both inside and out. The building itself is stunning, with grand architecture that feels almost as impressive as the exhibits inside. My favorite part was the room with the boat—it’s such a cool and immersive feature. The museum also has a lovely garden area with a touching tribute to Princess Grace of Monaco, including a charming statue you can visit for free just outside.
