We took friends from New Mexico and we all had the best time at the museum. Entertaining, educational without being pedantic and load of fun. Don't take my word for it, just to and you won't be disappointed

Very nice museum full of local whaling history. The boat inside is pretty cool to see. The scrimshaw is beautiful art. Very informative and interesting. Be sure to check out the observation deck upstairs for amazing views of the New Bedford harbor.

Great place to visit. So much to see. We were there for 2.5 hours and could have sent more time. Lots of interesting things to see

A very fascinating, educational experience! A link to the past and the present. The exhibits we're awesome. From the 48ft whale skeleton to the half size scale "bark," the Lagoda. Cultural highlights included Azorean and Cape Verdean sections. Whaling history comes alive through artifacts and information. Environmental causes are a concern, too and the Musuem enlightens with kid friendly displays. Something for everyone to learn and enjoy!

An absolutely stunning, beautiful museum that I seriously need to get back to some day. Features whale skeletons, a half-scale whaling ship model, figureheads, ship models, historical artifacts and paintings, an awesome scrimshaw collection, and plenty of great local history. Really great, enthusiastic curators Even the gift shop is nice! Worth checking out all the exhibits in detail.
