Mesmerizing jellyfish take center stage at 1st US museum dedicated solely to the floating predators
The Jellyfish Museum in Pompano Beach, Florida, is believed to be the first museum in the U.S. dedicated solely to jellyfish. Created by Alex and Yana Yanovsky, who relocated from Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion, the nearly 10,000-square-foot facility houses about 20 unique species of these ancient marine creatures. Monty Graham credits the Monterey Bay Aquarium with pioneering the popularity of specialized jellyfish exhibits globally.
