In the summer of 2013, the museum hosted a special “Deep Sea” exhibition, which included the display of a 5-meter long giant squid alongside a video of a deep-ocean dwelling giant squid that was considered the scoop of the century. Four years on, and this exhibition will focus on bioluminescent animals, giant creatures, and dwellers of the deep ocean hadal zone, presenting the latest videos shot of them in their natural habitat alongside live specimens recently procured from the ocean. Furthermore, there will be videos and CG reconstructions that show the circumstances surrounding large-scale natural disasters related to the deep sea, including the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that took place off of the Pacific coast, as well as those introducing deep sea resources. The team that captured the giant squid have banded together once again and are now working on the new NHK deep sea series special, “Deep Ocean.” This is a perfect opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the water that surrounds us.
