Ortho Tribune file photo A bridge to the world Even though there is plenty to see in- side the Moscone Center, there are many other things to see outside of it. Here are a few things you might not have seen be- fore. ‘Whales: Giants of the Deep’ at California Academy of Sciences Mighty and mysterious, colossal and charismatic, whales have captured our minds and inspired our wonder for cen- turies, yet remain some of the most elu- sive creatures on the planet. Visitors to the California Academy of Sciences can now explore “Whales: Gi- ants of the Deep,” an interactive exhibit featuring enormous whale skeletons, in- teractive media and rarely seen cultural artifacts. “Whales” is developed and pre- sented by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, home to one of the largest marine mammal collections in the world. In this 4,100-square-feet exhibit, visi- tors will dive deep below the ocean’s sur- face to explore the fascinating evolution- ary biology, adaptations and diversity of whales. While gazing in awe at enormous whale skeletons and literally climbing through the inside of a life-sized blue whale heart model, adults and children alike will gain new perspectives of these majestic un- derwater giants.
