The Aquarium in a few words, figures & images

The Paris Aquarium, also known as Cinéaqua or Aquarium du Trocadéro, was built for the 1878 World's Fair in disused quarries located between the Seine and the Trocadéro gardens, under the Chaillot hill.
As an interesting historical fact, these old quarries had several uses before housing the Trocadéro aquarium: they sheltered Napoleon's cavalry and were later used to start cultivating Paris mushrooms, due to the humidity and soil fertility caused by the straw and horse manure left by the cavalry!
The original structure was designed by architect Combaz, while the garden is the work of Adolphe Alphand.

The aquarium was improved for the 1937 World's Fair and then featured an open-air section, but it still housed only freshwater fish.
It was not significantly updated afterwards and was forced to close in 1986 due to its age and declining popularity.
It reopened in 2006, completely rebuilt, entirely underground, and designed to house saltwater marine fish. In 2019, a jellyfish exhibit with 24 tanks opened, where visitors can admire 50 species of jellyfish displayed on rotation.

The main mission of the Paris Aquarium is environmental education. This scientific, educational and fun institution aims to introduce people to the seas and oceans and raise awareness of the fragility of their ecosystems.
