We’re excited to announce a special Christmas multimedia show presented by Coca-Cola® United will debut this holiday season at Mississippi Aquarium. Aquatic Wonders, the main building of Mississippi Aquarium, will be the canvas for a new nighttime spectacular Christmas show featuring projection mapping. This show is being created and installed by the dynamic award-winning teams of MDSX Creative and SPRK Lighting. The storyline is currently in development with the help of some of the Mississippi Aquarium animals and crew. The immersive experience is one of many initiatives towards raising funds for a permanent on-campus habitat for the aquarium’s colony of African penguins. This show will open on Thanksgiving and will incorporate projection mapping, dynamic lighting, and music to deliver an awe-spiring and magical experience for aquarium visitors. Stay tuned on our social media channels for updates on this project and more details as they develop.

The dedicated staff at Mississippi Aquarium has been hard at work behind the scenes with the latest batch of Kemp’s ridley cold-stunned turtles. In the care of Mississippi Aquarium, these turtles receive round the clock veterinary monitoring, medications, and nutrition to rehabilitate them for release back into the wild. You can help with the rehabilitation efforts by sponsoring one (or more) of these endangered turtles. Get to know more about each turtle currently being rehabbed by clicking the link below. https://lnkd.in/eRS-jb_m #mississippiaquarium #conservation #rehabilitation #rehabhero #Kempsridley #turtles #endangeredspecies
