The Océanopolis Metamorphosis 🐚 Océanopolis, Brest's National Center for Scientific Culture dedicated to the Ocean, has begun its transformation, supported by Brest Métropole and its partners (Brittany Region, Brest'aim, the French State, and the Finistère Department). This project is much more than a simple renovation: buildings are being modernized and new ones are being constructed with a constant focus on sustainability, architectural coherence, and beauty. 🐠 This transformation allows Océanopolis to continue being a flagship tourist destination in Brittany, better equipped to meet today’s environmental, inclusiveness, and aesthetic concerns. The construction will be completed by summer 2025! 🔗 Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/dWpQUhvC 🔗 More info: https://lnkd.in/d_BcSBkA 🦀 Ready to explore the new Océanopolis? #Océanopolis #SustainableArchitecture #BlueTourism #MarineConservation #Brittany #ArchitectureAndNature #EcoFriendlyTourism #SEALabHaus #InterregAtlanticArea #OceanCulture #Metamorphosis #SustainabilityInTourism #GreenArchitecture Interreg Atlantic Area
