Whales of Iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland

Whales of Iceland is the largest whale exhibition in Europe (and perhaps even the world), where visitors can learn about the giants of the sea in a calm and modern environment. The permanent exhibition features realize models of each species living in the North-Atlantic oceans. A true giant experience.

Gagarin developed a multi-user installation where the biological aspects of a Minky Whale are reviewed i.e. head, mouth, baleen, brain, senses, lungs, heart, etc. Three interactive panels are placed in front of a model of a Whale. When visitors select different topics of interest from the panels, animated illustration with audio narration, are projected on the model, explaining the selected topics. Exhibition design: Hallgrímur Friðgeirsson
