Impressions from the Exhibit "Sharks – the Hunted Hunters" in Germany and Switzerland.
Rounded off panels allow the realization of various presentation options.
The various components were first drawn before the exhibit went into production.
Obviously we had to dedicate a corner of the Exhibit to the collection of donations.

The anatomical model shows a pregnant white shark. The internal organs were illustrated in great detail.

Rounded off panels make it possible to optimally use even smaller rooms.

Various jaws from different shark species show what sharks feed on, based on muscle attachments and tooth shapes.

The lighting installations in Galileo Park were optimal for the Exhibit. Models, panels and display cases all had ideal lighting, with the blue light even conveying the impression of moving underwater.

Setup of the Exhibit in Stralsund.
Exhibit in Maritime Museum, Stralsund
Two of the display cases in Stralsund.

The ceiling suspension of some of the over 3-meter long shark models calls for new solutions at each new exhibit location. In Stralsund this was solved using a grid construction that later was covered with blue material to imitate the ocean's surface.

A microscope enables visitors to view the tiniest shark teeth and placoid scales in more detail.
Exhibit in St. Gallen
Most shark species bear their young live, but several species lay eggs which can have very complex shells.

Sharks' dermal denticles are optimally arranged for laminar flow, making it easier for them to swim. Man has made use of this feature, for example in swimsuits.

From computer design, to a 3D print, up to the finished model.
In memory of Heinrich Thorbecke, the co-founder and main sponsor of the Foundation.
Completed 3D print of the hammerhead shark. The 3D print must be finely polished, painted and glued.

In 2009 the Tree of Life Exhibit dedicated to Darwin was shown in the Zurich Main Station.
The elasmobranch part (sharks, rays, chimaeras) of this Tree of Life was designed by the Foundation.
A shark model marks the location of the Foundation's shark display case.
In a relatively confined space the evolution of sharks, rays, skates and chimaeras is shown in the form of specimens, models and fossils.
