Aquarium Partners

Please let us know if you would like to speak with someone about the National Aquarium in Baltimore’s partners for the expansion and new exhibit, Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes.

Animal Planet
Animal Planet is the title sponsor of the new exhibit, Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes.

Animal Planet, available in 85 million homes nationwide, is the only television network dedicated exclusively to the connection between humans and animals. The network’s original programming brings together people of all ages by tapping into a fundamental fascination with animals and providing an entertaining mix of programming including original movies, adventure series, sports, drama and sitcoms. Discovery Networks, U.S., a unit of Discovery Communications, Inc., operates and manages the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, the Travel Channel, The Science Channel, Discovery Wings Channel, Discovery Home Channel, Discovery en Español and FitTV. The unit also distributes BBC America.

Australian Embassy    
The Aquarium and the Embassy of Australia have partnered to ensure the exhibit’s cultural accuracy and to broker business relationships in Australia. Through the embassy, Australian trade group Austrade hosted the Aquarium’s spring 2004 retail buying trip, and introduced retailers to the best of Australia’s arts, crafts and authentic items for the new exhibit’s 5,000 square foot store. This Australian merchandise will support the educational mission of the Aquarium and accurately reflect Australia’s cultures, including the contribution of the country’s traditional landowners.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore also thanks the Territory Wildlife Park for their assistance in obtaining diverse collection of animals, and the Northern Territory Tourism Commission.
