That is a shame about the Aquarium. Where is it supposed to be and when do you think it will open? It will be missing out on all the tourists now! kathmaria

Dont worry have just found out about it by reading the letter at the beginning. I did actually try to get in there and was so disappointed an there was nothing to say what was going on! kathmaria

If it really is true that personal issues are preventing a valuable asset for both the residents and visitors to the city of Krakow from coming to fruition, then it is about time that the politicians running the city got a grip and dealt with these people swiftly. Educational attractions such as aquaria have been a great boost to a number of cities throughout the world and Krakow should be amongst their number. Small minds and small time politics surely have no place in Poland’s second city. I look forward to the successful opening of the aquarium without further delay. Yours faithfully, Angela Adam (Part time resident and full time fan of Krakow)

Any updates on the situation regarding the Aquarium?

Not heard anything lately Jabber! I read the article on this website, and it seems like the guy Nathan is going to be facing an uphill battle to get it open, but he'll eventually win I hope! Only problem is if he has the financial backing to fight the legal fight whislt he's spent all this money already on something that might not ever open! All a very sad reflection on a few narrow minded individuals!

So, i don't see the other side to the story...Are the professors really being difficult (or whatever else people on this site are calling them) or are they, perhaps, actually trying to preserve something they consider of greater value to Krakow (and its youth)? I guess i need to look this story up because not all the pieces seem to fit....

Apparently, the Krakow Post will be running an investigative story about this issue in the next edition.

That good. I'll be interested to hear what they find out. They always publish really good articles in that paper, so I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it. From what I've heard on the rumour mill its all a bit murky and unnecessary. I know people who have been to see the new exhibits and stuff that has been installed and they said it was great, so seems like a waste to not open it!

How was the opening of the Aquarium on the 27th? Anyone know?

There is another side of the story that's missing in the media - in building the aquarium they have broken some important Polish building laws, and that is the hold-up, not the professors themselves - they just pointed out that the aquarium is not completely legal. Looking forward to a proper investigation of both sides in the Post!
