A 117-year-old North Atlantic right whale skeleton has been returned to the Hull Maritime Museum following six years of conservation. Originally discovered off the coast of New York, the skeleton offers a poignant reminder of this critically endangered species, of which fewer than 400 remain. The museum has incorporated a unique interactive element, allowing visitors to crawl through a tunnel constructed within the whale’s rib cage. This offers a novel perspective and enhances the exhibit’s educational value. The return of the whale skeleton marks a significant moment for the museum and its commitment to preserving natural history. The display aims to raise awareness about the plight of right whales and the importance of conservation efforts. The restored skeleton is now a key attraction for visitors.
