Can you spot the Aquarium in this music video?

Josh Groban is a Grammy and Oscar nominated singer-songwriter, musician and actor. You've probably heard his operatic voice on the radio before. He just premiered his newest music video on his website, and we're already big fans here at the Aquarium. Take a look, can you guess why?



We are honored that the Aquarium's harbor seals, Giant Ocean Tank (is that Myrtle?), jellies and even scenes of Boston Harbor were included in Groban's latest music video.

Bravo, Mr. Groban!



 Groban visited the Aquarium this summer and snapped a picture with one of our turtles.
