Peter Kuttner, Principal Architect at CambridgeSeven, discusses the New England Aquarium's architecture and exhibits. The Aquarium in Boston opened in 1967 and became a precedent-setting prototype for many future aquariums.  It is a phenomenal tourist draw in its urban waterfront setting; an educational resource serving its community and region; and an early example of Cambridge Seven's ability to offer both entertainment and education through experiential design, integrating exhibits and architecture. This unique institution is credited with a major role in the redevelopment of Boston's waterfront.
