The Whale Museum is hosting a new immersive exhibit, Critical Distance, featuring augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality technology.
Previously featured at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., this unique experience has now arrived at The Whale Museum!
When you visit, you’ll get a fresh perspective on Southern Resident killer whales, exploring their lives, communication, and the challenges they face. You’ll also discover why giving these remarkable animals space matters. Critical Distance is included with regular museum admission.
