Te Papa’s Whales Tohorā exhibition opened at the National Geographic Museum on 15 October with a traditional Māori dawn ceremony that blew Washington away!
This was the same day Chile announced that its waters are now a whale sanctuary - that’s 5,500km of coastal waters protected from whale hunting for commercial or scientific purposes. A good day for ceteceans!
See Fox News’ coverage of the Whales exhibition here: http://www.myfoxdc.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=15D5F1DA273ECCB7F7EFD061556BEB9E?contentId=7653443&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1.
I hope to get some images up soon of the ceremony so stay tuned!
