A new 2,000sq m aquarium is being planned for Batumi beach in Georgia.

Denmark-based Hennig Larson Architects won the contract for the museum, which will replace the port's previous aquarium.

Featuring a dolphinarium and a zoo, the Batumi Aquarium is designed to replicate the beach's characteristic pebbles.

The formation constitutes four self-supporting exhibition areas where each of the four stones represents a unique marine biotype - the Aegean Sea & the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Black Sea & the Red Sea and finally the more interactive exhibition space for teaching and "edutainment".
