Claudia, I know this will be too big, but I thought I'd mention it
anyway.  The Pacific Science Center created an 8-10,000 square foot
traveling exhibition with five robotic whales, all to scale: a narwhal,
orca, sperm whale, front half of a gray whale, and a portion of a
humpback. The whales are complemented by hands-on interactive components,
graphics, etc. The exhibition is just leaving Atlanta for a 30 month tour
of Australia.  After that the venues are undecided.
For more information contact
Leila Wielke, Traveling Exhibits Coordinator, Pacific Science Center,

Also, you might check with the Monterey Bay Aquarium - someone here thinks
they may have had a traveling whale exhibit.
 
Good luck in your search!
Cheers, Lisa Mervyn
