- Wander the Polar Regions at 66.5 Degrees
Check out the interactive exhibition experience. Through spatial landscaping combined with light projection, immersive theaters, and touch-interactive effects, the Pingtung National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium has created an immersive sensory experience, completely reshaping the three polar water regions: the Aurora Tunnel, the Arctic Area, and the Antarctic Area. It feels as if you have stepped into a snowy polar world in a second. As the world's first 'waterless aquarium' built using virtual reality technology, it offers a marvelous visiting experience that combines the virtual and the physical.
- The First Blue Whale Skeleton Specimen Exhibition in Taiwan: 'The Path of the Giant Whale'
The first blue whale ever recorded in Taiwan will, after 1,420 days, roam above the lobby of the Waters of the World Pavilion at the museum in a new form. Measuring 20 meters long, with 63 vertebrae and weighing 1 metric ton, the museum has reconstructed its skeleton and created a popular science exhibition, allowing this blue whale to be freed from the ropes that bound it and transformed into a permanent collection of the museum, extending the value and meaning of its life. The museum also invites the public to take this rare opportunity to visit and feel the life story told through each of its bones, while also reflecting on how to maintain the sustainable development of the ocean and move together toward a beautiful vision of a sustainable ocean.

Stroll through the largest underwater tunnel in Taiwan
Cute beluga whales in the Coral Kingdom Pavilion
This summer, the NMMBA has created a brand new 'Blue Whale Tunnel,' featuring a 12-meter-long giant comic wall in collaboration with the 'Sea Witch Agency' as a major highlight.
At the end of 2023, the first blue whale skeleton specimen in Taiwan was slowly raised in the Waters of the World Pavilion at the NMMBA. Suspended above the hall, this 20-meter-long blue whale skeleton is not only the result of three and a half years of hard work by the specimen restoration team but also allows all visitors to face the most precious life lesson it brings.
