The Independent Administrative Institution National Science Museum was established with the objective of conducting survey and research work in natural history and other natural sciences along with their applications, and of collecting scientific specimens, preserving them (or nurturing them, in the case of living specimens), and of sharing the results of these labors with the general public, promoting the natural sciences and science education in society.

OUTLAW OCEAN MUSIC PROJECT:
WHERE MUSIC MEETS JOURNALISM
All music in this project is based on THE OUTLAW OCEAN, a New York Times best-selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. The reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun-running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships, and other topics. The music is an act of solidarity across geography and language, and an attempt at storytelling from written word to music. It is a captivating collection of inspired songs. Take your pick: listen to ambient tracks, classical, electronic or hiphop.
