THE BLUE WHALE PROJECT
In 2007, MMRU initiated the Blue Whale Project to find and articulate a blue whale skeleton for the UBC Beaty Biodiversity Museum. The skeleton is 82 feet long (25 m) and hangs in the glass atrium at the center of the UBC campus. It is the largest skeleton ever suspended without external reinforcement. The museum will open to the public in October 16, 2010.
