The exhibition features a giant spherical aquarium that serves as the centerpiece of the facility.
Jellyfish are kept in specialized 'kreisel' tanks designed to create a gentle circular water current to prevent the animals from colliding with the glass.
The lighting sequences are synchronized with original sound design to create a meditative atmosphere.
The installation is entirely artificial and does not contain any other marine life besides jellyfish species.
Svět Medúz is a dedicated jellyfish exhibition space located within the Arkády Pankrác shopping center in Prague. The facility features over 30 custom-designed aquariums housing various species of jellyfish from around the world. The interior utilizes immersive projection mapping, kinetic sculptures, and dynamic lighting to simulate an underwater environment. Visitors walk through a series of darkened rooms where the jellyfish are displayed in high-contrast cylindrical tanks. The space emphasizes the hypnotic movement of the medusae rather than traditional zoological educational placards. It is a strictly indoor, climate-controlled attraction maintained specifically for the health and visibility of its marine inhabitants.

Wear dark clothing to minimize light reflections on the aquarium glass when taking photos.
Visit during weekday mornings to avoid high volumes of families and shopping center crowds.
Pause in each room for several minutes to allow your eyes to adjust to the low-light environment.
Do not attempt to touch the glass or tap on the aquariums, as the vibrations disturb the animals.
Avoid using flash photography, as it startles the jellyfish and creates glare on the tank surfaces.
