Myanmar Aquarium

Yangon


Singapore company Surbana Jurong designed this new, international-standard aquarium which is set to open by the end of 2019. Over 20 different tanks, including one with a walk-through tunnel, will contain both freshwater and saltwater fish and marine life. It will also be possible to walk on the roof of the building for a perspective over the lake.
