Exhibition 'Whale Hall' in Ecomare
In the Whale Hall, you literally walk amongst the whale skeletons. They come from whales and dolphins that have washed ashore around Texel. You’ll feel quite small standing next to the gigantic skull of the 15-metre-long sperm whale! In a special display case, you’ll find one of the exhibition’s smaller highlights: a piece of ambergris. Ambergris is a substance produced by only a few sperm whales and was once known as ‘floating gold’. Discover the fascinating story behind this find in the exhibition.
