Stock Photo - 27 November 2020, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Stralsund: A specimen of a Japanese giant crab (Macrocheira kaempferi), which lives at depths of 50 to 300 metres in the oceans near Japan and has a span of up to three metres between its legs, is located in the former St. Catherine's monastery, which today houses the exhibitions of the Stralsund Marine Museum. On the same day, the specimen of the leatherback turtle Marlene, which had lost its way in the Baltic Sea in 1965, was taken over by a shipping company at the Sea Museum. From January onwards, it is to be shown in the exhibition ""Turtles. Armoured through the centuries"" in the State Natural History Museum in Braunschweig. The exhibitions are to be completely revised from 2021 onwards, with the thematic focus on the world of the warm seas and popular exhibits such as the fin whale skeleton remaining. The construction project, which is being funded 50 percent by the federal government and 50 percent by the state of MV, will cost 40 million euros. The reopening is planned for spring 2023.
