The Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, Mr Thomas Chow and The Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, Mr Jean-Pierre attend The Deep exhibition opening ceremony at the Hong Kong Science Museum. Hong Kong.

Covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is the cardle of all life.The deep sea, which occupies 85% of the space, has been immersed in total darkness yet we know little about it. Only very recently have we developed the technology necessary to journey to this dark world, and what we have found there could not have been imagined.

“The Deep” invites visitors to peer into the abyss teeming with life that is beyond our reach and imagination through the latest scientific research with amazing colour imagery.

More than 30 specimens and 60 photo, many of which are taken for the very first time, depict the various unfamiliar and fragile ecosystems existing in the realm.

The exhibition will run at the Science Museum from July 11 to November 12.
