Oceano Coat of Arms

A symbol of heritage and commitment, the Oceano Coat of Arms pays tribute to the prestigious history of the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco. The majestic coat of arms, shaped like a tapered shield and crafted from hammered copper, is surrounded by the outstretched tentacles of an octopus, made of hollow copper. This work sits above the museum’s main entrance, embodying the Institute’s pioneering role in ocean conservation for over a century. Its refined design blends tradition and modernity, reflecting a deep commitment to the Institute’s mission.
