Unleashing a Swarm of Nature Lovers: Potsdam's Natural History Museum Aquarium Booms
After the revitalization of the aquarium within the hugely popular Potsdam Natural History Museum in November, the influx of visitors has skyrocketed. According to a museum representative, "We welcomed over a thousand visitors on the weekend post-opening - that's a significant leap!" Typically, weekend attendance is only half as high. But just a few days later, the museum already surpassed its 2023 visitor count goal of 30,000, a number that was never even achieved prior to the pandemic. "Our team is working tirelessly to keep up with the demand," the representative admits.
The museum's aquarium now showcases nearly 40 diverse native fish species, including some that have recently become quite scarce, such as the burbot, the nase, and the grayling. "The fish have acclimated exceptionally well," the representative asserts. However, one industrious pike remains unaccounted for.
The resurgence of interest in the Potsdam Natural History Museum's aquarium has also sparked a flurry of activity in neighboring Brandenburg institutions, drawing an increasing number of aquatic aficionados.
