designboom contemporary: aquariums



the first known aquarists were sumerians who kept fishes in artificial ponds approximately
4500 years ago. people would often create their own ponds, containing fish and supply it
with fresh seawater. aquariums nowadays are created in large sizes to display diverse
varieties of marine life. many of the modern aquariums and marine centers are built
underwater to allow guests and researchers to have a closer encounter with different
marine life in their natural habitat.
