AquaRio's gift shop has 420sqm and was designed by Kube Arquitetura. It's a walkthrough store. Its main displays were inspired by the organic curves of whale's ribs, giving the space a flowing and light movement, and also allowing a flexibility in the mix of products. The "rib" displays allow the products to be revealed little by little, creating levels of intimacy while they walk around. The blue in the beginning of the store makes the visitors want to dive in that space.

Aquário Marinho do Rio de Janeiro (Rio's Aquarium) is a recent tourist spot in Rio's downtown that offers fun events for children and adults visiting the Aquarium. About three thousand animals of 350 different species can be found in a variety of marine ecosystems. The biologist Marcelo Szpilman is in charge of the project’s conception, direction and technical responsibility.
