Opened in February 2016, the museum comprises five exhibition spaces with models, audiovisual displays and multilingual explanations concerning all aspects of the grey whales that live and breed in the local waters. A soundtrack of whales in the wild adds to the atmosphere, as well as the well lit and airy gallery spaces. Together with the exhibitions and audiovisual displays, the museum's foundation promotes the study and conservation of whales.
There is also a section dedicated to local turtles covering the seven different species native to Mexico, plus a cafeteria and gift shop.
