The Narwhal – Revealing the Arctic Legend at Monmouth Museum
Dive Into the Magic of Narwhals at the Monmouth Museum!
The Monmouth Museum in Middletown, New Jersey, in partnership with the Smithsonian, is hosting a traveling exhibit titled Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend. On view from October 26, 2025 – January 11, 2026, this fascinating exhibition brings visitors up close to the mysterious “Unicorn of the Sea.” You can find more information on the exhibit by pressing here!
These incredible mammals live in the icy waters of Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia and the exhibit offers a rare opportunity to learn about their world. Families can explore the changing Arctic ecosystem, listen to real narwhal vocalizations, and even touch a genuine narwhal tusk. It’s an immersive experience that’s both educational and awe-inspiring.
To make the adventure even more fun, the museum gift shop is featuring ArtsBot’s Narwhal Wristlets. Adorable, hands-on craft kits that let kids create their very own narwhal friend to take home. Inspired by the same “Unicorn of the Sea” featured in the exhibition, these TSA-compliant craft kits are perfect for sparking creativity and keeping the Arctic magic going long after your museum visit.
Fun facts about Narwhals:
Narwhals are nicknamed the Unicorn of the Sea due to their long tusk.
The tusk is actually a long left tooth that can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh up to 22 pounds.
Narwhals are small whales and grow to be about 18 feet long.
They live in the icy waters of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans near Canada and Greenland.
Like most toothed whales, narwhals communicate with “clicks,” “whistles,” and “knocks.”
There are an estimated 170,000 narwhals worldwide!
So, whether you’re coming to marvel at the exhibit or to find the perfect ocean-inspired souvenir, don’t miss the chance to pick up a Narwhal Wristlet, a creative keepsake that brings the wonder of the Arctic home.
The Monmouth Museum is located at 765 Newman Springs Rd., Lincroft, New Jersey. More details can be found here: www.monmouthmuseum.org
