I would love to see their archive collection.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing so much, and I can't wait to see more! I'm a paper conservator, and I'm always in awe of people who treat massive objects like this.
Im a metal and archaeology cons who likes doing the preciseness neatness of paper cons
Me apaixono por este tipo de trabalho.😀👍
Hilarious. I had the same hassles yesterday .... but moving my whale specimen back into my basement. All the whale oil dripping in my livingroom was attracting seagulls and cats. Omg like Hitchcock meets Stephen King in there....
Two most important and successful moves in the history of National History Museum
1. A move of a giant blue whale skeleton from Mammals Hall to Hintze Hall.
2. A move to end the sale of single-use plastic water bottles in National History Museum to help reduce the deluge of plastic into our seas.
Good team work
Why is it being moved underground? Repair?
+Kevin Anstyadi The skeleton is being prepared for its move to Hintze Hall next year - after hanging in our Mammals Hall since the 1930s our Conservation team have some work to do to get it back to its best before it can be remounted.
The skull looks like a spaceship
but why does it have to replace Dippy?
+IronDanWalker Dippy will be going on a national tour in 2018 in order to allow our diplodocus to be seen by an even wider audience. It's hoped the resdisplay of Hintze Hall will challenge the way people think about the natural world, and our relationship with it - the blue whale is an ideal centrepiece for this both as a species and a specimen.
About time it was replaced. It was just a cast copy of the real deal from Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. Too long the Yanks would come to NMH, take a look at Dippy and be like, "Meh, we have the real thing."
I wanna live there
Wow
you'll never learn anything from a dead whale
