		Today it's both an oceanographic museum and a world class public aquarium dedicated to living exhibits from all the seas of the world.
		According to Pierre Giles, Deputy head of the aquarium at the museum, the success is largely down to good husbandry, which encourages the fish to come into breeding condition, coupled with advanced techniques employed to culture planktonic foods for the young.

	A walk for the Oceanographic Museum of Mónaco, by Toni Romero
		This section of the museum is like a window back in the time, a wonderful time of romantic and resolved pioneers that went into in oceans and unknown countries, with the risk of contracting the most terrible tropical illnesses or to die in hands of native hostile.
		The museum of course has plans to be modernized from face to the new one millennium, the truth is that the project is worthy of Julio Verne.
		The truth is that the combination of the two architectures, the current one (century principles) and the futurist, finds me of very good pleasure (as the whole museum).
