MALTA NATIONAL AQUARIUM
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN MALTA, AND A BLANK CANVAS FOR NAUTILUS
This large aquarium – a new build project and the first of its kind in Malta – is in a popular location and showcases a large number of attractive elements. Fish from around the world are featured, including a large ocean display with walk-through tunnel and sharks.
It was an incredible project – the site was essentially a large blank canvas when we arrived. Our job was to transform it from a building site into an underwater wonderland. There were a total of 26 tanks, all requiring theming, painting and glazing. If that wasn’t enough we also had a mammoth amount of external dry-side theming and muraling to get on with, plus a submarine to build – needless to say we had our work cut out!
What we did:
- Supplied full theming design package, including CGI ‘Walkthrough’
- Created, supplied and installed all of the in-tank theming
- Created, supplied and installed all exhibition dry-side theming
- All of the mural artwork
- All of the tank glazing
- Themed the outdoor areas, including Café Del Mar
- Themed the restaurant
