New Exhibit at MOAS: Largest Shark that Ever Lived
By Cathy Padilla
A gigantic, prehistoric shark called Megalodon once commanded the world's oceans. Beginning February 3, and running through July 21, 2024, a new exhibit at the Museum of Arts & Sciences (MAOS) in Daytona Beach will have visitors consumed with awe as they walk through a full-scale replica of the 60-foot-long apex predator and explore the life of this fantastic, ancient creature.
Produced by the Florida Museum of Natural History with support from the National Science Foundation, the exhibit teaches about Megalodon and how new scientific discoveries continue to reveal its remarkable story, including its enormous size, diet, relatives, evolution, and ultimate extinction. The object-rich exhibit, located in the L. Gale Lemerand Wing, features real fossil specimens, full-scale models of ancient and modern sharks, and tooth-shaped display units with actual Megalodon fossils.
