Once you clear the entry area of the City Museum and the obligatory gift shop, you enter an area with strange sea creatures and pools. It's full of tunnels and balconies, some too small for me to fit through. It is fanciful. What is the point besides pure whimsy? The Lou is a long way from the ocean.
The City Museum has a large area it calls the World Aquarium. The name is a bit overblown. It's a big space filled with a haphazard, slightly tacky assortment of wet displays, some of which are quite interesting. Look closely at this. It's a tiny bug-eyed fish, maybe 75 mm long, that seems to keep its gaze half over and half under the water. The better to see you with, my dear.
