This is your last chance to see the fabulous Jelly displays at The Monterey Bay Aquarium. If you haven't seen them...GO NOW!!!!!

They are leaving Sept. 1st to make way for Seahorses.

sad to see them go cause they are AWESOME!!!! I'm definitely glad I went. 100 miles one way for me and worth it!

..but I am curious/excited to see the seahorse exhibit

 

[GreshamH]

I'm not a big seahorse fan myself I'd much rather see the jellies I did see them a few times though and in the public aquarium world that had to have been the longest running temp display ever IIRC it was only meant to last a year

 

[Elite]

Very sad ... Jellies are cool...

 

[Tumbleweed]

I am going tuesday. Now I am really glad that I am going. Get to see them 1 last time.

 

[Apon]

I believe that there are 2 displays for Jellies...the main one on the top level by the outer bay exhibit I think is staying. The Living Arts one is downstairs from there and that is the one that does get changed from time to time.....but I could be wrong.

 

[Raddogz]

It's all the smaller displays and the full display that is just freaking cool. I hope they keep the Chihuly art there

That whole Jellyfish "wing" of the aquarium is spectacular, I will double up the plea to see it if you haven't.

BTW do you know what they're replacing them with Gresham?

 

[Tumbleweed]

I think he said Sea Horses

 

[sfsuphysics]

HA! You expect me to read to the third line?! NEVER! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[GreshamH]

The entire display was meant to be a temp installation. I emailed David Cripe (Curator) about it so we'll see just what is leaving and what is staying

 

[corals b 4 bills]

Ah ha! I told you!..... GreshamH knows everyone and everything!.......and you didn't believe me.

 

[Gomer]

I just got back from a dinner party with Dave. The big jelly exhibit will soon be a sunfish exhibit. They won't remove the jelly fish though.

 

[GreshamH]

huh he just emailed me last night saying the main gallery (2nd floor) isn't going any where, only the other one is (Jellies Living Art).

I forgot you are in the CG

Someone in the SFBAAPS club works at the Monterey bay aquarium. If you guys are serious about it I am sure he would lead a behind the scenes tour. Eric or I could ask him.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Group Field Trip ;D
