The Marine Science Gallery is located on the fifth floor of the Main Exhibition Building at the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST) in Keelung. This gallery focuses on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the ocean, utilizing interactive technology to explain marine phenomena. It features exhibits on deep-sea exploration, ocean currents, and the impact of human activity on marine ecosystems. The space is designed to bridge the gap between abstract marine science and public understanding through hands-on models. Visitors can explore the mechanics of waves and the diverse organisms inhabiting different oceanic zones. The facility emphasizes the role of the Kuroshio Current in shaping the climate and biodiversity of Taiwan. It serves as a central hub for marine education within the larger NMMST complex.
