South Korean maritime museums are highlighting cetacean biology and marine conservation through various displays and exhibitions.

The Jangsaengpo Whale Museum in Ulsan maintains a collection of biological specimens, including a mounted orca skeleton, to document both the historical whaling industry and contemporary ocean conservation efforts. 

In a separate initiative, the National Saemangeum Reclamation Museum is hosting a special exhibition titled ‘Blue Deep Sea, Vanishing Blue Breath’. Supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the exhibition focuses on the life of the blue whale to illustrate marine ecosystem cycles, carbon cycling, and the impact of environmental changes on climate and human life.
