A new exhibition coming to NHM 

Orcas: Our Shared Future invites you to explore the powerful connections between orcas, people, and the oceans we share. Through life-size orca replicas and dynamic installations, discover how these intelligent, family-centered animals live, communicate, and thrive. View captivating sculpture, masks, and prints by Indigenous artists of the Pacific Northwest Coast that honor the compelling relationships between orcas and Northwest Coast First Nations. Weaving together science and culture, the exhibition examines the complex lives of these fascinating animals.
