About this event

Come face-to-face with Earth’s largest creature through Blue Whale: The Exhibition! Look forward to life-sized displays of this ocean giant. Blue Whale: The Exhibition is more than just a special exhibition, it’s rooted in real science and the tragic loss of nine endangered North Atlantic blue whales that became trapped in sea ice off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, in 2014. Although their passing represented a significant loss for an already vulnerable population, two of these whales were recovered and studied — giving scientists from the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) the rare opportunity to examine the blue whale like never before. The exhibition invites families to discover the wonder of the blue whale while highlighting why protecting these gentle giants is essential to keeping our oceans healthy for future generations.
