Now no longer touring, the Whales | Tohorā exhibition explored the amazing world of whales, through a unique blend of science and storytelling, drawing on one of the largest whale collections in the world – at Te Papa, New Zealand.
Humans have revered whales, hunted them, and explored their astounding adaptations to life in the sea. Meet some of the people whose lives have been inextricably linked with whales – from legendary South Pacific whale riders to whale scientists and former whaling families.
Plunge into the world of whales. Discover how their bodies work and explore their extraordinary lifestyles – from some of the smallest dolphins to the mightiest creature on Earth.
These education resources support a teacher-guided visit to the exhibition. They have been developed for both primary schools and secondary schools.
