We call them “killer” whales, but these magnificent and graceful beings are the most social and self-aware creatures roaming the oceans.

 

Visitors will look beneath the surface to learn about their biology and ecology, their importance for indigenous peoples and how they are portrayed in popular culture.

 

They will uncover the hidden lives and complex societies of these powerful and intelligent apex predators that rule over the oceans to discover our shared history and future with them.

 

This interactive traveling exhibition features real fossils, life-size orca models, objects from popular culture and original artwork from the Indigenous peoples of the North American west coast.
