It was one of the last projects before his death. Great piece of art.
Yeah, such a shame someone with such an amazing vision passed away so early... Just imagine what other largescale artworks he could have still produced had he had the time...

Infact i wonder if there were any other large scale projects that were in the pipelines before his departparture, and if so, would they still be completed by his team of artisians???

will also be interesting to see who the next talented Aquascape Master is to step up to the plate???

Hopefully their as creative and talented as Mr Amano, whomever they might be.. :)

Also, convict360 said something about it earlier but got no answer, does anyone know if this is still set up? And where it is? And how much they charge for entry? And how many hours a day I can stare at it before I get kicked out? :D

convict360 convict360 - To answer your question, i went looking on their official website, and i'm sad to say it seems like it was only ever destined to be a temporary exhibition, i guess mainly due to the fact that you would almost need someone like Amano's team just to help maintain the tank long term...

Anyway, here is the info on the Exhibition for anyone interested...
