Months of hard work, late nights, and boundless creativity come together for an Aquarium experience like you've never seen before! Tomorrow, The Florida Aquarium presents MORPH'D! Where world-class animal care meets immersive sensory discoveries, this new adventure will challenge perception and unveil the unique wonders of aquatic life.
From Eric Hovland, the Associate Curator over this experience:
"The Florida Aquarium has undergone significant changes, just as I have transformed in my career from Biologist to Associate Curator over the span of nearly 30 years. This shift could not be better illustrated than with the introduction of our new changing exhibits gallery, with the appropriate moniker, MORPH’D! This gallery features a variety of exceptional animals with unique abilities found throughout our blue planet.
MORPH’D! boasts 18 new habitats and a multitude of interactive exhibits that celebrate these extraordinary creatures. Among them, I feel personally connected to the mudskipper. This literal fish out of water has adapted to an environment both above and below the surface, skipping boldly through each day with curious rotating eyes that inspired an 11-year-old burgeoning marine biologist.
At The Florida Aquarium, we have accomplished something truly remarkable. Despite facing the typical challenges of constructing a new gallery, our diverse and specialized team has worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Together, we have created an inspiring and interactive conservation message that will resonate with visitors.
This achievement represents only the beginning of a series of remarkable endeavors that await us here at The Florida Aquarium. Our team is dedicated to continued success and the pursuit of our mission."
