About the Bowhead Whale:

Museum visitors can now see the only suspended bowhead whale skeleton in the Americas. The museum has articulated and suspended a 43' Bowhead Whale skeleton from the lobby ceiling. The specimen, a young male harvested by Alaska Native hunters in 1963 near Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), has been in the museum's Mammals Collection since 1965, with only the skull on exhibit since 1980.
