The Qingdao Marine Museum (also known as the Qingdao Aquarium Museum, or the Qingdao Marine Science and Technology Museum) opened to the public in 1932, and was the first aquarium in China designed and built by Chinese people. It served as a precursor to China's marine research institutions.

Over the course of many years, the Qingdao Marine Museum, as the first museum in Qingdao, has adhered to its aim of strengthening marine awareness and promoting marine culture. It has gradually developed into a renowned marine-themed professional exhibition hall in China.
