Mesmerizing jellyfish take center stage at 1st US museum dedicated solely to the floating predators

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The enigmatic jellyfish captivate visitors in the first museum in the United States devoted exclusively to the ethereal sea creatures. Nestled in Pompano Beach, Florida, the museum dazzles guests with translucent invertebrates pulsating in dark ambience. The private institution, crafted by Alex and Yana Yanovsky, marks their return to the U.S. after fleeing Ukraine's 2022 Russian invasion.

With a distinct focus on marine ecosystems, the museum educates patrons about the vital role jellyfish play in aquatic habitats.
