Dippy about the whale (Lorraine Cornish & Richard Sabin)

In July 2017 the Museum unveiled Hope the blue whale, a spectacular 25-metre-long specimen suspended from the ceiling of the Museum’s central space, Hintze Hall. The Museum's Principal Curator of Mammals Richard Sabin and Head of Conservation Lorraine Cornish joined host David Urry for a talk about the history, conservation and story behind Hope the blue whale.
