Comment

The first Biarritz Sea Museum was created in 1871 by the Marquis Léopold de Folin2. The present building, in the Art Deco style, was inaugurated on August 10, 1933, next to the cliff of the Atalaye plateau. It was first renovated in 1992 to house an important collection of marine animals and naturalized birds. An extension of the museum from 2009 to 2011 has doubled the surface area and significantly increased the number of tanks, at the expense of the space reserved for naturalized birds. The emblem of the museum of the sea is a white octopus on a blue background. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_de_Biarritz
