The New Bedford Whaling Museum is the largest museum in America devoted to the history of the American whaling industry and its greatest port. Through exhibits, publications, and programs, the Museum brings to life the whaling era and the history of the local area. It houses the most extensive collection of art, artifacts, and manuscripts pertaining to American whaling in the age of sail - late eighteenth century to the early twentieth, when sailing ships dominated merchant trade and whaling. 
We took a visit to the Museum last week utilizing a buy one get one free Entertainment Book coupon. It was interesting. There were a lot of paintings about whaling which I felt became a little redundant. I thought the Museum was very well put together and would be a great place to take an elementary school aged kiddo.
We enjoyed the observation deck and the view of the Mount Hope Bay.
