The Ozeaneum is an aquarium and natural history museum at the historic harbour of Stralsund, on the Baltic coast of Germany. Wikidata credits Behnisch Architekten as its architect. The article names no client, style or materials. It opened in July 2008 and is a main attraction of the German Oceanographic Museum, the Deutsches Meeresmuseum.

It displays sea life from the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The largest tank holds 2,600,000 liters (690,000 US gallons). The article gives no other dimensions and describes no further design features.

Visitors were expected at 550,000 per year, but more than 900,000 came in the first year. The millionth visit was on July 27, 2009. The Ozeaneum won the European Museum of the Year Award, presented on May 22, 2010 in Tampere, Finland. The article gives no hours or ticket prices.
