Today (June 8) marks World Oceans Day. Let’s head to the National Maritime Museum of China in Tianjin, and embrace the call of the ocean. Have you ever seen a museum that extends from land into the sea? Here, waves and architecture intertwine in a stunning “land-in-water, water-through-pathways” design. As China’s first national maritime museum, it reveals billions of years of ocean histories waiting to be explored.
