NBWM Summer Benefit: Under the Sea

The summer benefit is the Whaling Museum’s signature fundraiser and is a significant driver of our ability to raise over $2 million annually to operate the Museum and fulfill our mission to ignite learning through explorations of art, history, science and culture rooted in the stories of the people, the region and an international seaport. The live auction is one of the many highlights of our summer benefit and we are delighted to offer an additional online auction this year.

The New Bedford Whaling Museum ignites learning through explorations of art, history, science and culture rooted in the stories of people, the region and an international seaport. Anchored in the story of New Bedford’s whaling industry, the New Bedford Whaling Museum documents and shares the diverse stories of this vibrant maritime region and its people, both bygone and current.
