Eden Killer Whale Museum

　　The Eden Killer Whale Museum is located in the small town of Eden on the south coast of New South Wales. It initially began as a site for displaying the skeleton of a killer whale and telling the story of “Old Tom.” Later, it evolved into a museum primarily dedicated to presenting and showcasing the history of Australia’s whaling industry and whale processing operations.

　　For over 80 years since its establishment, the museum has been recognized as one of the most innovative, creative, and up-to-date museums in New South Wales. Its collection includes approximately ten thousand items, categorized into whaling and whale processing collections, maritime collections, fishing collections, timber industry collections, and local social history collections. These include killer whale skeletons, whaling boats, and whaling equipment. A large number of photographs in the museum depict the past of Eden and Australia, as well as years of cultural and industrial development. They also showcase what traditional Australian families were like in the 19th century and the progress made in more recent years.

　　The Eden Killer Whale Museum is open from 9:15 AM to 3:45 PM from Monday to Saturday, and from 11:15 AM to 3:45 PM on Sundays. It is closed on Christmas Day. Visitors interested in killer whales are welcome to come and explore.
