Description
The Natural History Museum's iconic blue whale skeleton is a masterpiece of art and engineering. Suspended in a majestic pose, its 9,000-pound frame stretches 82 feet long.
Acquired by the museum in 1891 after being found beached off Ireland, the whale's restoration took three years to complete, including extensive laboratory work on its 221 bones.
This book brings together the latest scientific research and behind-the-scenes images of the blue whale's story, shedding new light on the largest creature ever to have lived on Earth.
