Whale school 2016 – first visits

Today the Whale School started, but every year students from Tunga á Grænuvällir and students from the 2nd and 5th grades of Borgarhól School visit the museum, where they receive targeted education about whales and guidance on the museum's exhibits. After the visit, the students work on a project and/or artwork that will later be displayed in Hvala School's exhibition space in the museum.

As in previous years, the museum and its exhibits brought great happiness among the young visitors, who had many questions, but also shared wisdom and information with the museum staff.
