The center utilizes advanced projection mapping to simulate the scale of whale species relative to human visitors.
The facility is designed as a standalone education hub separate from the primary museum aquarium tanks to focus exclusively on cetacean biology.
It incorporates interactive consoles that allow users to simulate whale communication and sonar navigation.
The Whale Explorium serves as a specialized interactive educational facility located within the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium campus in Pingtung County, Taiwan. It features life-sized models and immersive displays dedicated to the biology and conservation of cetaceans. The exhibits focus on the anatomy, migration patterns, and unique ecological roles of whales and dolphins in the marine environment. Visitors encounter 3D visual storytelling techniques designed to explain complex marine science concepts. The center functions as an extension of the broader museum's research and public outreach mission. It is situated adjacent to the Houwan coastline, integrating geographical proximity to the natural habitat of various marine species. The facility emphasizes environmental stewardship and the history of whale research in regional waters.
