Two new exhibitions opened last week-end

The annual opening of the Whale School art exhibition was held last Saturday and on Sunday, French artist Marina Rees opened her art exhibition. It has become a tradition in the museum that a new artist exhibits art works connected to whales each year. Marina’s exhibition is in a pure style and a great supplement to the other exhibitions in the museum.
