Aquatic Gallery - Science City, Ahmedabad
Very few places in our world are more educational than museums. Museums are storehouses of knowledge and help us understand our world better. As institutions at the heart of society, museums have the power to define a sustainable future. One such museum that celebrates and exhibits freshwater and marine ecosystems was inaugurated recently.
The Aquatic Gallery at Science City, Ahmedabad was inaugurated by Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi via video conference on 16 July 2021 in the august presence of Honorable Minister of Home Affairs & Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah and Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Vijay Rupani and other dignitaries. The Aquarium serves as a platform to raise public awareness of the precious water world. It displays various species of fish for the purposes of education and entertainment. The facility, set up over a land parcel of 2.5 acres and with a built-up area of ~150,000 sqft, merges science education with entertainment and encourages a scientific temperament.
This project was awarded jointly to Shapoorji Pallonji E&C and Marinescape as consortium partners in late 2017. The Marinescape Group is a New Zealand based company which has been continuously active in the design construction, operations, management and ownership of aquariums. The construction started in early 2018.
