- In summer 2017, the Museum unveiled a blue whale skeleton: the new star of our reimagined Hintze Hall. Take a look behind-the-scenes at the three year project to install the specimen in our central space, and hear from Museum scientists and conservators about what the whale means to them.

Dippy was iconic, I first saw her when I went there as a kid and enjoyed seeing her all the times I have gone back since but once I found out Dippy was just a plaster cast model and that no full skeleton of a Diplodocus had ever been unearth, that display lost it's prestige in my eyes. I'm happy that we finally have a real skeleton on display, a skeleton of an animal much more worthy of our attention and admiration.
We do have a full skeleton more or less, if you combine specimens. What do you think the cast was molded after?
Amazing. I will miss the dinosaur but I hope that putting focus on an animal alive in our oceans today will encourage people to care about protecting the amazing wildlife that exists all around us today!
Well said
I will miss it too but they are stepping into the future teaching people about our world now and how the outcome will be later
@@keatonvincent9752 yes no one cares
2:51 Cara Delevine back there like "whatever grandma"
Imagine putting that thing up in 1934. Jesus that must have been some work
No mentions of it's origins.. It was beached on the east coast of Ireland wexford in 1891
I visited the natural history museum in early 2020 from Australia, I was absolutely blown away by this skeleton. I hope I can come back sometime soon.
I went to the museum when the whale was in the old space, the dinosaur in the main hall was amazing also, I just did not catch why they moved o.o
But was amazing being able to see these two. The museum is incredible, very rich in history, is a super history class with outstanding exemplars.
"the dinosaur" 💀
it's almost like the museum is a whole separate world! I had such an amazing feeling watching all these people work together to bring this extraordinary specimen to its new place, can't imagine how it would feel visiting the place! Totally have it on my 'must visit' list now!
And thanks to all the background guys and gals that dont get a menchon
You can’t be serious lmfao, did you actually spell mention as menchon? That is peak stupidity right there
@@Uurm0m it's called a mistake, people make them no need to be so rude
@@Uurm0m imagine insulting someone who is trying to bring attention to all the workers that go uncredited
@@dungeonsanddragonsanddrive2902 Lmfao, being illiterate has nothing to do with empathy. Being nice doesn’t mean you’re immune to a rightful insult
@@Uurm0m why is it rightful? can you tell me that?
I always would liked to had seen both skeletons together in the same room. Where only here in the world could there had been the real life size comparison finally of the two greats that has been interpreted countless amounts of times already in books and art size concept size charts online.
Not only is the blue whale the largest animal to ever roam the earth (that we know of), it's an actual full skeleton and it still roam the ocean today and is therefore a great reminder for all visitors to take good care of our planet and oceans, so that these magnificent animals (hopefully) won't go the way of the dodo (or Dippy).
Great choice by the NHM to display it!
Perucetus live reaction: 😐
I grew up and live on the northeast coast of America, the ocean is more than just a body of water to me, my mom put me in the waves as a month old baby, she said I pulled away until she caved and was shocked at my ability to get pummeled by little waves and come up laughing, it sounds crazy but I'm more comfortable in the ocean, something instinctive deep in the primitive party of my brain, I truly feel a connection I can't verbalize. Thanks Mom.RIP🙏
0:35 we nearly had the titanic meme 'it's been 84 years'
I hope Dippy will be back one day, and even if it's not to be she left a very lasting legacy
Signing it seemed to really cheapen the experience tbh
I feel so grateful to have had the chance to see this blue whale skeleton in the museum. The visit was one of the best.
was it really necessary for you to sign it?
I used to have lectures every week in a building called the zoological institute (i study psychology, but i guess that was the only place that was available). It’s quite small but in the hall there are a lot of preserved animals, taxidermy or kept in alcohol which always creeped me out. They also have a skeleton of a whale hanging off the ceiling. But its hanging just by wires and looks very unstable. I could not, will not, would not walk underneath it. I (still) have this (ir)rational fear of it collapsing on top of me when i walk underneath it. I am that unlucky person that would happen to. Am i alone?
It's been 1 year but... you are not the only one having that fear. I also fear that!
@@HarryJamesPotter7 yeah Neville had that happening once with those bloody pixies 😂
I absolutely adore the blue whale
I miss Dippy but Hope is a good replacement.
Amazing!
This video most of all shows that science and technology can be used for good purposes
I think Hope the Blue Whale is awesome!
I hope they didn’t lose the LEGO booklet
so this is where my laptop wallpaper came from ;-;
I have been to this before
What is the point tho? Everyone loves the diplodocus
Having seen both, I love dippy but I actually think I prefer the whale.
They said too many people were touching it even though the signs specified otherwise to do it and was causing damage. That's one reason I've heard.
*Edit* just reading the comments of how it's a plastic mould and now my answer is completely obsolete... 🙃🙃🙃
He’s on a tour in the uk ❤️
The blue whale is the largest animal that we know of to inhabit this earth. That's pretty substantial as a reason why.
This made me cry.
I miss the diplodocus and I love the best is the blue whale
1:28 SHEEEEEEEESH
This is amazing long live blue wales
Natural history museum what a paleontologist do Ina museum what is his or her salary monthly?

He's been sent back to his country due to Brexit
@@OniksWalkswrong, Dippy is a British cast.

WHY DID YOU REPLACE THE DIPLODOCUS IT WAS ONE OF MY FAV PARTS >:[
I'm going to miss dippy
unlkess they bring to all schools and colleges a documentary video to understand , specimen museum of science tht will be great package as per to understand the species globally will helpful
specimen labs , zoology should upbring the level of presentation in their documentary
They should have put a trex
Writing on that precious exhibit, really?

Well that entrence hall has gotten significantly shitter. Who gives a fart about a lame ass whale when you could have a Diplodocus.
🤡

Edit:it has been 2 years and I realised how important that animal is as it is the most biggest animal in the world.
You're an idiot. How is the biggest animal that has ever lived boring?
