Whales Are Superheroes! See all four exhibits

April 14

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum Unveils New Whale-Focused Exhibits and Educational Programs.

Did you know that whales are superheroes? Whales help maintain the stability and health of the ocean and minimize some of the worst impacts of climate change. The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) is presenting a multi-faceted collection of events and programs to inform the community about the many wonders of whales. Kicking off with an unusual immersive experience that allows audiences to see the underwater environment through the eyes of a child, these events and programs range from in-school art and science lessons, children’s and professional’s art exhibits, a new permanent exhibit, and a lecture — all of which are designed to provide something for every member of the community! These related exhibits and programs opened at SBMM on April 14, 2022!

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, four exhibits opened the public beginning April 14, and a free Zoom lecture is scheduled on April 21. Although their subjects are often similar, each event, artist, and exhibit brings a unique perspective, technique, style, information, and medium to a better understanding of whales and the role they play in mitigating climate change. The various components include:

  • “A Whale of a Tale,” a unique multi sensory immersive experience that highlights the undersea world with life-size reproductions of artwork submitted by local children in grades K-6. This work, combined with the sounds of whales as they sing to each other and dramatic, vivid lighting,  recreates the feeling of seeing it all through the eyes of a child. April 14-Julu 31, 2022.
