Müritzeum, Natural history museum and public aquarium in Waren, Germany.
The Müritzeum displays 40 native freshwater fish species across 25 aquariums, with a total water volume of 100,000 liters in the exhibition space.
The institution traces its origins to 1866 when Hermann von Maltzan established the first natural history collection in Mecklenburg, containing 275,000 specimens.
The Swedish architect Gert Wingårdh designed the building with two circular cones that connect the structure to the surrounding Müritz lake landscape.
The facility maintains a collection of 16,000 books covering regional topics, botany, zoology, geology, and natural history for research purposes.
The centerpiece aquarium spans two floors and contains a school of whitefish that creates silver reflections throughout the exhibition space.
