Stock Photo - 11 January 2022, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Stralsund: In a museum workshop, taxidermist Malte Seehausen prepares a documentary sculpture of a palm thief (Birgus latro), also known as a coconut robber, for exhibition at the Meeresmuseum in Stralsund. From 2021 to 2023, the Meeresmuseum is to be comprehensively modernized. The exhibitions are to be completely overhauled. The thematic focus - the world of warm seas - and popular exhibits such as the fin whale skeleton will remain. The cost framework for the construction project, which is being funded 50 percent by the federal government and 50 percent by the state of MV, is 40 million euros.
