We're doing some spring cleaning
|
|
| |
Our central space is now closed for a spectacular redevelopment until mid-summer 2017. It will reopen with a blue whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling in a dynamic diving pose.
Our conservation team has been hard at work cleaning and preparing the whale specimen for re-display. Watch the film to discover how crumpled newspapers have turned the skeleton into an historical treasure trove.
