How can something heard about but never seen be depicted—or even imagined?
This question has challenged scientists for centuries. While today’s researchers search for phenomena such as black holes and gravitational waves, five hundred years ago people sought to make sense of mysterious ocean creatures like whales.
A guided tour of Monsters of the Deep invites visitors to discover how sailors, scholars, and everyday observers transformed these once-feared monsters into scientifically understood mammals.
