Now Open

Orcas dives deep into the stories and science that surround these magnificent predators of all oceans. Step inside and see more than 140 artifacts—from life-size reproductions and fossil casts to beautiful examples of Indigenous artwork inspired by these magnificent creatures. With three life-size replicas, engaging short films, and plenty of interactive games, ocean exploration and education have never been more fun.

Orcas: Our Shared Future will be open until April 20, 2025. The exhibition is included with Museum admission. Plan your visit today, and consider a Museum Membership for free museum access year round, including special exhibitions and special events.
