BALTIMORE (AP) — The National Aquarium says it's adding an interactive exhibit where guests can explore the seashore without leaving the building in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

When it opens next spring, the "Living Seashore" exhibit will include crashing waves, sandy beaches and encounters with more than 150 animals, including clearnose skates, horseshoe crabs and moon jellies.

CEO John Racanelli says the $5.5 million exhibit is part of a $10.5 million upgrade to the museum campus.

The exhibit will be on Level 3 of the Pier 3 Pavilion.
