        • The museum welcomed its first visitors aboard the Vityaz, which was moored for good at the museum pier in 1994.
        • The Vityaz was launched in 1939 in Bremerhaven as the cargo ship Mars.
        • In 30 years under the flag of the USSR Academy of Sciences the Vityaz made 65 research voyages and covered about 800,000 miles.
        • Since 2000 the diesel-electric submarine B-413 has been moored next to the Vityaz — visits inside are by timed session.
        • In 2015 a storage building with the “Glubina” exhibition opened, and a Be-12 seaplane appeared on the embankment.
        • In 2022 the museum was given the status of a museum-reserve.

        🎟 ticket · entry by timed session, ticket separate from the main complex
        The new sphere-shaped building of the Museum of the World Ocean: aquariums with sharks and rays, a planetarium and an observatory.

        • The sphere opened in August 2025 — it took more than 13 years to build.
        • The aquariums hold almost 1.5 million litres of water; by the end of 2025 they were home to more than 3,000 fish and other creatures.
        • Inside are a planetarium, an observatory, a library, classrooms and laboratories.
        • Staff stress that it is not an oceanarium but a museum — the nineteenth site of the Museum of the World Ocean.

        • Before the war the island was called Kneiphof: in 1327 one of the three towns that made up Königsberg received its town rights here.
        • The name Kneiphof comes from an Old Prussian word for marshy ground, a bog.
        • In 1724 Altstadt, Kneiphof and Löbenicht were merged into one city — Königsberg.
        • The sculpture park on the island opened in 1984 as a branch of the regional museum of history and art.
