The Blue Continent – Islands in the Pacific

From March 29, 2025

With “The Blue Continent”, the Übersee-Museum is opening a fascinating look at life and cultures in the Pacific. The new permanent exhibition offers a change of perspective, as it was conceived together with Pacific Islanders and provides space for the diverse voices from the region. The exhibition is dedicated to the major issues of our time: biodiversity, cultural identity, use of resources, climate change and a look at the colonial past form a multifaceted kaleidoscope of island worlds. The highlight of the exhibition is an eight-meter-high planted island with a digital waterfall. Young and old are invited to linger under the installation of a school of fish or to experience the blue continent at interactive stations.
