Welcome to the SEA BEYOND Ocean Literacy Centre, a dynamic space in the Venetian Lagoon co-designed by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (UNESCO-IOC) and CRA - Carlo Ratti Associati. Inaugurated in 2025 by the Prada Group and UNESCO-IOC, the centre is dedicated to fostering knowledge and understanding of the ocean, raising awareness of its fundamental role for life on Earth.

The initiative is promoted as part of SEA BEYOND,  a project by Prada Group conducted in partnership with UNESCO-IOC since 2019 to raise awareness of sustainability and ocean preservation among younger generations.

At the Centre you can immerse yourself in exhibitions and interactive workshops that illustrate how tides, currents and climate shape our planet, while discovering the extraordinary biodiversity that populates coastal and marine environments.
