Curator’s Corner
Bermuda Zoological Society

By Dr. Ian Walker,
Principal Curator, Bemuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo

Firstly, we’d like to thank you for your patience over the last several months. The replacement of the Aquarium roof has gone very well and we’re extraordinarily happy with the end product.

As always in technical projects like this, there have been unavoidable delays entirely out of our control. Given that we were going to close the hall for the roof project, we felt it was the right time to completely renovate the visitor hall. However, this project soon grew in scope based on the fact that as we ripped out the facades, we found numerous unexpected problems, including structural cracks in some of the tanks that had to be dealt with. Consequently, this caused some delays.

We are now approaching the end of the project and the team and I are extremely happy with the end result. The hall now presents a more enhanced experience for visitors and members. Our new signage is vibrant and tells a more complete story about Bermuda’s marine environment and heritage. In addition, they direct our visitors on where to find some of our natural, unique habitats and how best to explore them.

We thank you again, for your patience. We have listened to your wishes and hope you’ll enjoy the new Aquarium, and, as always, we welcome your feedback.
