American Museum of Natural History - blue whale model

The Milstein Hall of Ocean Life at the American Museum of Natural History features an approximately 94-foot-long suspended model of a blue whale that has been an iconic central exhibit for decades. The life-size model hangs above dioramas and educational displays about marine biology and ocean ecosystems. The museum uses the display in exhibitions, educational programs, and public-facing imagery that link the institution to natural-history storytelling.
