Blue Whale: The World’s Biggest Animal at Liberty Science Center

Discover the world’s biggest animal in our brand-new premium exhibition, Blue Whale, making its United States premiere at LSC! The exhibition tells the story of the 60-ton whale that washed ashore in Trout River, Newfoundland in 2014. This created a rare chance for scientists to study a blue whale up close and turn a tragedy into an opportunity for education and research. In this immersive exhibit, you’ll see the enormous skeleton of a recovered blue whale and discover how whales evolved, the size of their heart, how they communicate, and more of the mind-blowing biology of Earth’s largest animal...ever. Gain insight into the decline of blue whales, what's being done to protect them, and how scientists are using DNA to unlock some of the secrets of these elusive creatures.
