Created by the Australian Museum, Sharks invites you to explore the fascinating, and often misunderstood, world of sharks. Learn through artefacts and tactile displays, learn all about conservation, sharks’ impact on oceans, and efforts to protect sharks.
One last time before the Sharks exhibition heads overseas, join Clinton Duffy, Curator of Marine Biology, and meet some of the denizens of the marine collections here at Auckland Museum. From the safety of your seat, dive deeper into the world of sharks with this guided talk, and even meet some of our most unique specimens like the Hammerhead Shark!
