On the Rhode: Whaling Museum

(FOX Providence) - On August 26, The Rhode Show is taking the show "On the Rhode" to The New Bedford Whaling Museum.

About The New Bedford Whaling Museum:

As the region's first purpose-built historical attraction, the museum continues as an original ambassador for the community.

Through its educational programs and activities, the Museum looks to the future by engaging children, teaching that they are part of the fabric of the community, critical to its growth, and destined to be a chapter in its history.

The Museum is a forum for whale and now fishing conservation, research and symposia. Its cultural outreach extends around the world, with close ties to Japan, Portugal and the Iñupiat people at the Arctic Circle.

The role the New Bedford Whaling Museum will play in its second century is no less critical than that of one hundred years ago.

In doing so, the Museum will be recognized as a compelling destination that inspires all visitors to reflect on the complex issues that shaped the past, remain critical today, and inform a sustainable future.
