The life-size 94-foot, 21,000-pound model blue whale at the American Museum of Natural History suspended overhead in the Hall of Ocean Life was renovated in the early 2000s. First constructed in the mid-1960s, the blue whale model originally went on display in 1969. UBS provided access scaffold so workers could restore it to its original splendor.
