Unlike other exhibits at the aquarium focused on a specific class of animals or native region, this diverse special exhibit focuses on shimmer, color, pattern and rhythm. Guests can also virtually engage with the exhibit by watching a live camera to discover dreamlike patterns of angelfishes, wrasses, tangs and butterflyfishes, listening to an audio guide to dive deeper into the world of jellies, or utilizing interactive classroom programs for kids to learn why and how these animals look and act the way they do.Ĭreated fully in-house by Shedd Aquarium, Underwater Beauty is unique in its focus of showcasing living art shaped by the unmatched forces of nature and time. Since opening in 2018, there are now several new additions to the space that guests should explore during their next visit like the hypnotic undulating vibrant colors of flamboyant cuttlefish, now fully-grown ribbon eels that transformed from black to unique distinct colors, aquatic plants thriving in underwater environments surrounded by schooling fish and much more. “When guests visit the exhibit for the last time, we hope there is even greater compassion and appreciation for the beauty beneath the waves and motivation to conserve and protect our waterways.” “Together, we’ve celebrated the diverse and vibrant beauty of aquatic life of all different shapes, colors and sizes,” said Keoki Burton, assistant director of animal care and sustainability at Shedd Aquarium. The closure of the special exhibit will enable the start of construction at Shedd and the first of many renovations and modernizations planned for the building as part of Shedd Aquarium’s Centennial Commitment. Presented by Citadel, Underwater Beauty is the most diverse special exhibit in Shedd’s history, featuring over 1,000 animals representing 100 species from across the globe. Shedd Aquarium’s award-winning special exhibit Underwater Beauty, which has brought guests closer to the stunning and surprising spectrum of beauty within the aquatic animal world, is set to close on April 17, 2023.
