Why You Should Visit

For two days, 13 creators who make artwork and original goods inspired by living creatures set up shop in MARINE NOTE on the second floor of átoa. Expect illustrated goods, hand-carved stamps, accessories and more — 10 of the 13 are taking part for the first time. This is the third edition, after two previous runs. Browsing costs nothing beyond the aquarium's admission ticket, so you can fold it into a normal visit to átoa.
