We had a wonderful visit. The collections are beautifully curated, from large pieces of actual boats and whale skeletons down to beautiful artwork and more. The presentation by Robert Kucharavy about whaling history and life aboard ships was superb. Very interesting. He did a terrific job. His knowledge and engagement with the visitors is exceptional. Thanks!

Please update your hours. Planned out trip to visit the museum on a Sunday, google maps says it’s open but was closed when we got there. Very inconsiderate

Since the renovation, the museum has transformed from a good to a great historical document. Great docents, too

We went here to learn more about the Coffin family. We were not disappointed. So much rich history about the family and so many others from that time. It was a really cool experience.

The whaling museum was very interesting in showing the people that settled there and how the whales was hunted and processed

We absolutely enjoyed our visit as a family of 4 on a pass. Minutes from the ferry it was a interesting exhibit. The observation deck was a lovely surprise as well as the Discovery Center for our little. In hindsight, we would have given the kiddo more time in that area. One adult should have stayed with the kid and the others could have ventured to nearby shops and then swapped. The little one keeps asking if we can go back to the “Big Whale place.” Great at offering something for the whole family that is educational and interesting.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Museum. My brother and I were on the island for the day and thoroughly enjoyed our time touring the exhibits and chatting with the informative and attentive staff. I want to give a special shout out and thank you to Karen, who not only gave a fantastic history of whaling presentation, but also helped us with an excellent restaurant recommendation for lunch (Brotherhood of Thieves).
