New Bedford Whaling Museum

The mission of the New Bedford Whaling Museum is to educate and interest all the public in the historic interaction worldwide of humans with whales; in the history of Old Dartmouth and adjacent communities; and in regional maritime activities.

To accomplish this mission, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, also known as the Old Dartmouth Historical Society, shall: collect, preserve and interpret the artifacts and documentary evidence of these endeavors; maintain a whaling, maritime and local history museum; maintain a library; promote and disseminate historical research; and accept, maintain, and hold historic sites where appropriate. This will be accomplished under the standards of collections management as endorsed by the American Association of Museums. The museum is the centerpiece of the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park.

  • "From The Deep" The Sperm Whale Bone-By-Bone The 45-ton whale was found beached off Great Point, Nantucket, on June 7, 2002. The National Marine Fisheries Service awarded the specimen to the Museum because of the institution’s historic ties with the sperm whale and its commitment to placing the whale on public view. http://www.whalingmuseum.org/exhibits/fromthedeep.html April 16th, 2010

  • The Glories of Glass: New Bedford Art Glass In the decades following the Civil War, New Bedford's economy began shifting away from whaling into new areas of industrial production. The manufacture of art glass, which began in the 1860s, became one industry that brought this city international prominence. The Museum's beautiful and diverse collection representing the major styles of Mount Washington, Blackmer, Pairpoint, Smith Brothers, and Gunderson art glass produced from 1870 until 1950 returns to the recently renovated glass gallery. http://www.whalingmuseum.org/exhibits/glass.html
