Peter Chermayeff with Cambridge Seven Associates designed the Oceanário Lisboa in Lisbon Portugal, completed in 1996. It was featured in the 1998 Expo, on the Parque das Nações grounds.
The museum dedicated to the ocean resembles Chermayeff’s other key work, the Osaka Oceanarium. The center is filled with a 5,000 m3 tank with windows all around. A large variety of species are placed inside, and four exhibits of different habitats surround it.
