Killer Whale Museum, a coastal town of Eden. on the southern coast of (South Coast Region), southeastern New South Wales
The waters near Eden are where whales migrate every year, and the Eden region, which has a rich history of whaling, has long since ceased to hunt whales, but it has been preserved.
Killer Whale Museum began as a venue for orca skeletons and was later transformed into a museum open to the public to tell and showcase the history of Australia's whaling and whale-processing industries. Since its establishment more than 80 years ago, the museum has been regarded as one of the most novel, most creative and first new museums in New South Wales. There are about ten thousand items in the museum, which are divided into whaling industry and whale processing industry collection, maritime collection and fishery collection. The timber industry collection, the local socio-historical collection, including orca skeletons, whaling ships, whaling equipment, and so on, contains a large number of photographs of the past and years of cultural and industrial development in the town of Eden and Australia. It also shows the traditional Australian family in the 19th century and the development and progress in recent years.
The treasure of the Killer Whale Museum Town Hall is a real-scale specimen of the bones of a killer whale, Tom (Old Tom), once a local legend. The museum also has gift shops and coffee shops.
