Paris turns to the Ocean.
June 6–8, 2026 · Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris
On the occasion of World Ocean Day, Paris becomes — for one weekend — the capital of marine exploration. At the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and the Jardin des Plantes, Mission Neptune presents a free public programme at the crossroads of science, image and storytelling.
With Ocean Dreams, audiences are invited on an immersive journey: from the Ocean to the Amazon, three venues become chapters of a single narrative. Films, installations and encounters weave knowledge and emotion to recall a self-evident truth — we belong to one and the same living world.
