Lisbon Oceanarium. Exterior view of the Lisbon Oceanarium in Portugal, the largest aquarium in Europe. The Oceanarium is the centrepiece of Expo 98, which is themed around the oceans. At the right is the entrance walkway with the tropical Indian Ocean habitat within the structure at centre. The Oceanarium's main tank is viewed through 7 metre high windows made from 30 centimetre thick acrylic glass. At the corners of the tank are habitats representing the Atlantic, Antarctic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. More glass separates these from the main tank and helps to maintain their varied conditions. The Oceanarium holds over 15,000 animals from 200-300 species.
