Water covers 70% of our planet. It’s our most precious natural resource.
In the refreshed Water Gallery explore the interconnectedness of all water systems, and all life, on Earth. Dive into critical issues such as plastic pollution, climate change and ocean acidification.
Learn about vulnerable species. See real specimens. Meet some live animals, including freshwater fish, a spotted turtle and moon jellyfish!
Stroll around a real skeleton of a blue whale—the largest animal ever to live!
Enjoy models, videos and interactive displays.
Learn how you can make a difference to sustain oceans, lakes and rivers for future generations.
One climate. One ocean. One Earth.
The Water Gallery was produced by the Canadian Museum of Nature.
