Help us to restore the Northern Territory's
treasured Blue Whale skeleton
The endangered Blue Whale is the largest animal known to have ever lived. MAGNT holds in its collection an incredible 25 m blue whale skeleton, the only known Blue Whale specimen to have charted Northern Territory waters. This spectacular skeleton has not been on display to the public since 1999.
All donations raised through Encounter: Deep Blue go towards the restoration of the Blue Whale skeleton and other important MAGNT projects for our community.
The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory is a not-for-profit organisation. The Northern Territory's premier cultural institution relies on the generous contributions of donors and corporate partners to collect, protect and share Australia's unique Territory stories.
Your donation will enable MAGNT to to undertake an estimated 500 hours of restoration work to reinstate the whale.
