How do you draw a picture of something you’ve heard about but never seen? How do you see it in the first place?

This problem has bedeviled scientists for centuries. Today, we look for things like black holes and gravitational waves. Five hundred years ago, people tried to understand mysterious ocean creatures—like whales.

Join an exhibition curator for a tour of Monsters of the Deep to see how sailors, scholars, and everyday people turned monsters into mammals.
Free with Museum admission.
