New Bedford Whaling Museum
Local’s take
Actual whale skeletons, hanging from the ceiling. Look up.
The New Bedford Whaling Museum tells the story of the city’s years as the whaling capital of the world, and it has whale skeletons on display. It sits in the downtown historic district, a short walk from Seamen’s Bethel.
